Associate Professor Tara McMorrow joined me this week. She chats to me about her research into the molecular mechanisms underlying kidney damage and disease and toxicology. We chat about her early days as a microbiologist and how experiences both in Ireland and abroad have shaped the direction of her research towards discovering early markers for chronic kidney disease and toxicology screening to reduce the need for animal testing.
Tara also chats to me about the struggles of this current pandemic on teaching and learning, how she's found her role as associate dean of science and why she loves to inspire the next generation of scientists, from primary school right up to university level. Tara's passion for teaching is second to none, so much so that my graduating class of 2016 awarded her 'teacher of the year' and that title is surely well deserved.
