We here at ScienceBlog love the Science Gallery. For a number of reasons. Anything that popularises science and encourages people to discover more is a great thing. It is a quite unique proposition worldwide, an interesting concept which is simply somebody thinking outside the box. And it works.

Great news last night from the provosts in TCD and UCD - this should create a whole bunch of new jobs (albeit years from now) and is really the type of development in Science we’ve been looking for. Expect many new (or expanded) innovation centres to start popping up around the campuses.
