From Ground to Space: Volcanic Gas Monitoring

Alexander Riddell (PhD Candidate at The University of Manchester)

Volcanic gas measurements provide one of the most powerful tools for understanding the state of volcanic systems and forecasting unrest.

Can Tech Improve Animal Welfare Education?

Natalia (Nana) Raythz (Animal Care Student, Software Engineer and Founder of Pethology)

Animal welfare outcomes are directly linked to the quality of education caregivers receive. In Ireland, no dedicated textbooks exist for Animal Care students — a gap that Pethology was built to fill. This student-led platform uses gamified learning and adaptive AI assessments to teach welfare principles in an engaging, effective way. This talk examines the relationship between educational technology and animal welfare standards, and how innovative tools can shape the future of animal care in Ireland.
