UCD Summer Seminar Series

From John Regan:

Next Monday (July 16th), Martin Ryan and Alan Fernihough will be presenting their ongoing research as part of the Summer Seminar Series.

Martin's presentation will be on  "Econometric Analysis of Scientific Production at U.S. Universities: A Preliminary Examination of Researchers' Publication Output"  and Alan will be presenting on "The Fertility Transition did not Influence Infant Mortality: Evidence from Early Modern Germany". 

Seminars take place in the Geary Seminar Room from 1pm to 2pm each week until the end of July. Each presentation, with time for questions, will last about 30 minutes.

Health Symposium

My sincerest thanks to all speakers and attendees today, and to Phillipa Barrington and Emma Barron for making sure everything went smoothly. The presentations by Syvlana Cote, Mark McGovern, Alan Fernihough, Peter Carney, Sarah Gibney, Eibhlin Hudson, Michael Daly, Leah Quinlivan, Lorna Sweeney and Kevin Malone were all excellent. The final session was particularly impressive and represents over a decade of research by Professor Malone and his research team.

I will post details of some of the talks on this blog over the next week or so. If you attended today and would like further information then feel free to email either me or any of the speakers.

Between the regular series, the crisis event, the economics/psychology session, the education session, today's health event and other once off events, this has been a remarkable few months of intellectual energy and activity. I count myself very lucky to be part of this. I hope people will stick with this in the New Year and keep up the momentum.
