FINALLY, someone understands what I want AI to do for me! To learn more life hacks for a world we're co-habiting with AI, join the GenAI Hackathon on 21-22 June. Register here: portershed.clr.events/event/…
The secret of leveraging AI is not to expect it to take entire jobs off your hands but instead to use it to shave seconds, minutes, and hours off micro-tasks throughout the day - @robshocks

I should be over it but my scholarship paid €5.50/hr and had a clause that prevented me from doing any other work. Just remove the clause! I’ll work a side gig, no problem, yeesh! Anyway please get on this while you have the opportunity to vent productively. -Dr OlderWiser
Need to vent about the poor working conditions of PhD life?
We've got you covered.
At our new website - pwo.ie - we've begun compiling a list of all the big, bad players who definitely don't want to hear from you...

Dreaming up her first startup at the #FirstFriday watch party at @portershed - live from @dogpatchlabs. Ireland’s cutest budding CSO? Obviously.
My first time at @mum_talks! I learned: take your kid to the dentist before they need it. Make a list of things that made you happy as a child. Advocate for your own health. Thank you Galway Mums!
Abbie and I went to Sorcas Le Croí yesterday and were blown away by the show! An Irish language circus with acrobats, dancing, a top tier clown, and a live band!! At just 3 months Abbie was mostly taken with the lights and music, but I loved it all. Go immediately, bring friends.
Sorcas le Croí 🎪🤹♂️💫@CNiChualain
Seo blaiseadh den spraoi a bhí againn ag an Sorcas an lá cheana! Ticéid 🎟️ le fáil ag: eventbrite.ie/e/sorcas-le-cr…

Entrepreneurship & Creativity is alive and kicking in #Galway. We had the pleasure judging the @leogalway #StudentEnterpriseAwards2023 with @roe_gal @portershed & @basilfenton 31 schools made it to the regional final & 3 go to represent Galway in @CrokePark €22k sales made👏👏🚀 – at Galway, Ireland
It was an honour to represent @portershed to judge the #StudentEnterpriseAwards today for @leogalway. These secondary school kids sold €22,700, €13k pure profit. 🤩 Huge admiration for the confidence that takes, and the gumption of each entrepreneur in the room.
Lovely audience question at the @GalwayChamber #IWD2023 Brunch: when we hear excellent advice from strong women we sometimes view it as a big checklist - it can feel intimidating. The advice from the panel: it happens over the course of a career. One thing at a time grasshopper!
Thank you for your lovely words Tanya, and @MJConroyGroup - opening up the construction industry for women and lead sponsor of @GalwayChamber #IWD2023 brunch. #EmbraceEquality
