Since January 2021, I have managed the website and social media of HSTM Network Ireland, the History of Science, Technology & Medicine Network of Ireland. The HSTM Network Ireland seeks to foster research, teaching and public engagement in the history of science, technology and medicine in Ireland. The network brings together researchers residing on the island of Ireland who are interested in these subjects regardless of whether they study Ireland or another place.
