I don’t know if its just me but these have been the fastest two weeks of my life. For the end of this week, I definitely took some much needed time for myself to be productive and recharge. However, we did go to UCD’s Centre for Disability Studies on Thursday! We spoke with two of the researchers and they presented information to us about what they do in the centre as well as the recent projects they’ve worked on. They talked a lot about epilepsy as well as the idea of math anxiety, I’ve never really learned much about these topics before and it was really interesting to hear how they dove deep into the roots of these ideas and made so many findings. I think this trip has made me realize how interested I am in research of disability, I absolutely loved listening to all of of the researches that we have talked to in the past two weeks about what they are working on and the new information they’ve gathered to make new approaches of disability topics.
On Friday, I went to a cafe and worked on my presentation, interestingly enough my topic is epilepsy! After hearing the information at UCD it allowed me to find so many resources about epilepsy in Ireland. That night, a couple of us had gone out and we met Zai, the most famous dog in Dublin! I took lots of pictures with him because obviously he is a celebrity🤩. Its been a great week and I cant wait for the rest of our adventures!
Look at that famous dog!
