Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.

Our staff update this week focused on research in Trinity. Prof. Sinéad Ryan, Dean of Research, presented this graph illustrating the chronic underfunding of research in Ireland.
We have great research successes, but we could do so much more if the sector was funded adequately.

ALT Screengrab of a Zoom webinar with graph on left and Sinéad Ryan in upper right. Graph depicts Gross Domestic Spending on R&D between year 2000 and 2021, as a percentage of GDP. Two trendlines on the graph are increasing. These represent the OECD (top, purple) and EU (middle, red). The third, and lowest (blue), represents Ireland which, since 2015 is now decreasing and below its 2015 value.
