An interdisciplinary team from UCC led by researchers from the School of Engineering and Architecture, has discovered an ingenious method for analysing neonatal brain waves through artificial intelligence-assisted sonification. The findings have been published in the prestigious international journal Nature Scientific Reports.

A team of scientists led by Daniel Falk and Professor Maria McNamara, School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences (BEES), has solved an ancient mystery to reveal why hundreds of fossil frogs died in an ancient swamp 45 million years ago – it was during mating. 

The School of Biological, Earth, and Environmental Sciences (BEES) recently hosted their annual Research Day. This was a day to celebrate the achievements of the School's postgraduate students and postdoctoral fellows. It was also an opportunity to welcome new staff to the School.
