Auf den ersten Blick führt Aisling ein beschauliches Leben. Mit 28 wohnt sie noch bei ihren Eltern in ihrem Heimatort Ballygobbard und träumt, wovon man in dieser verschlafenen Kleinstadt so träumen kann: einem Ring am Finger und der ganz großen Liebe.

Sie macht Schluss mit John und zieht nach Dublin zu ihrer hippen Kollegin Sadhbh. Die Folgen: neue, glamouröse Freundinnen (mit durchaus unglamourösen Problemen), ein Finanzsk...2023-05-0819 min

Discussing Ireland's Covid strategy with ISAG's prof Aoife McLysaghtFor much of the pandemic, the Independent Scientific Advocacy Group (ISAG) has recommended that Ireland should aggressively suppress virus transmission as part of a zero-Covid policy.

Curious CasesThe Zedonk Problem‘Today I learnt that tigons and ligers are what you get when lions and tigers interbreed?!’ surprised listener Jamz G tells the doctors. ‘What determines whether species can interbreed?’ Geneticist Aoife McLysaght studies molecular evolution. She explains the modern definition of a species, built on ideas from Aristotle, Linnaeus and Darwin: a species is a group of organisms capable of interbreeding to produce fertile offspring. Hybrids – such as ligons and tigers – are usually infertile, because their common ancestors long ago diverged into the lions and tigers we know today. However, this definition isn’t absolute, and there are many ways...2020-07-0740 min
