For the first episode, Rob spoke with the Head of Research at SETU, Dr. Geraldine Canny to talk about her own research journey from NUIG, to Harvard, then Switzerland and now the South East of Ireland. Geraldine describes some of her own research into treatments for endometriosis and briefly talks about the Research Support Unit at the University.

Geraldine's staff profile can be found at wit.ie/about_wit/contact_us/staff_directory/dr-geraldine-canny and you can also follow her on Twitter @geraldine_canny

NB: at the time of recording, SETU was known as WIT so there may some references to that in the audio
