🚀 #Pint25 Tackles Sepsis Awareness! 💪
Read the Irish Independent article featuring Prof. Steven W. Kerrigan, who joined Pint of Science Dublin to raise sepsis awareness and improve public understanding.

Article: m.independent.ie/irish-news/h...

‘We are living through a sepsis pandemic, but no one is talking about it’

When people think of life-threatening illnesses, diseases such as cancer, stroke and heart disease typically come to mind.

"Trust Me, I'm AI" last night @pintofscienceie.bsky.social was so great! The other speakers (all @tudublin.bsky.social!) were stellar and the crowd was even better.

Many thanks to the volunteers who organized the event because it would not have been so great without them! #pint25 #phdsky
