Shane O’Donnell in conversation in glór

ON Tuesday next, November 23 at 7.30pm Glór will host an event entiled My Defining Moments: A Conversation with Shane O’Donnell. The event will also be live streamed.
It will be hosted by journalist and present Paul Collins, and will feature an in-depth conversation with Clare hurler and microbiologist Shane O’Donnell, about his defining moments from his sporting careers, research career and life to date.
Famously an almost unknown O’Donnell scored 3-3 in the 2013 All-Ireland Hurling Final, while he will also discuss his studies at Harvard University as a Fulbright Scholar, his balancing of his sporting and research career, as well as his recent concussion and his work at Eagle Genomics amongst other things.
It will touch on the opportunities and challenges Shane has faced in his life to date, the continuing role of research in these areas, and his advice on lessons learned for others following his journey.
The event is part of the Creating Our Future campaign, and as well as a one-on-one-conversation there will be input from relevant researchers, an audience Q&A and an interactive brainstorming session.
