Jan 31st was a sad day because Science Gallery Dublin closed for the last time, and I will miss all the amazing ideas from all the various conversations whether it's over coffee or bumping into someone at one of their exhibitions or at one of their many fantastic events. Here's their statement.

We would like to thank our audience and supporters, and the incredible interdisciplinary team of artists, researchers, technologists and experts from Ireland and abroad that helped bring our exhibitions to life. See dublin.sciencegallery.com for a full statement.
