Gasp a granny, you glamorous Anthony's.

Welcome to the Blind Buy podcast.

If this is your first podcast, consider going back to an earlier episode to familiarize yourself

with the lore of this podcast.

It's Science Week 2024.

And every year, I always do a Science Week podcast where Science Week set me up with a scientist and we have a chat

with the aim of democratising science. This week I'm going to be speaking to a professor of neuroscience.

So Science Week is, it's a national celebration of science in Ireland. It's running from the 10th to the 17th of November.

And all around Ireland, there's going to be hundreds of events for kids, for adults, for people of all ages.

This year's theme is regeneration.

So go to sfi.i.e to learn about this year's Science Week and to see what events are happening near you this week from the 10th to the 17th.

So this week I'm going to be chatting to Dr. Kevin Mitchell. He's a professor of genetics and neuroscience up in Trinity College Dublin and he's a proper listener to this podcast.

He's a perpetual declan. He's a steaming quiva. So he listens every week and we had great crack.

But before I get into that conversation, I want to tell you that my short film, my short film did you read about Erskine Fogarty,

which is based on my short story of the same name. That's actually coming out this week.

Thursday the 14th of November, at 10 past 10 at night on RTE 2, that short film will be, will be

debuted and then it will be on the RTE player afterwards.

I think there's a way to watch the RTE player internationally as well.

It's a film about a man who drags a fridge from Dublin down to Limerick and it's set in 2008.

It stars the wonderful Robbie Sheehan.

There's lots of amazing actors in it.

I'm going to keep that a secret.
