Fun Fact: Tá Gaeilge agam! Tá mé ag foghlaim Gaeilge le cúpla bliain anois. I have been learning the Irish language for a few years now. Despite no talent for languages, I passed my A2 exam in summer 2021 and am able to converse about my life and research at a basic level. I believe very strongly in the intersection between minority language preservation and environmental conservation.
