Roisin O'HareGUEST
And there's already somebody here in Belfast really pushing forward, moving away just from compounding of medicines, really thinking about what else the pharmacist can do and backing that up with a good scientific background.
Roisin O'HareGUEST
And then October 3rd, 1921, Mr. J. Carroll Gilbert set up a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy in conjunction with Queen's University.
Roisin O'HareGUEST
And this is now, we know, one of the earliest degrees associated with pharmacy in the British Isles.
Roisin O'HareGUEST
And that was here in Belfast at Queen's University.
Roisin O'HareGUEST
And I think that's just fantastic.
Roisin O'HareGUEST
We know in this period between 1920 and 1925, the pharmacists still had to work.
Roisin O'HareGUEST
for a pharmacy degree or a degree that even talked about pharmacy.
Roisin O'HareGUEST
But in 1926 was the first pharmacy official degree, I guess, that was called a pharmaceutics degree at that time.
Denis TuohyGUEST
It was probably some deep-down sense of shame instilled by the Christian brothers in my Derry school days that prompted my live, on-screen confession.
Denis TuohyGUEST
You won't have forgotten, Seamus, that I was the editor who rejected the poem you submitted to the Queen's University magazine, Q.
Denis TuohyGUEST
He smiled and nodded.
Denis TuohyGUEST
Of course I remember, but I also remember that it wasn't a particularly well-formed piece of work.
Audrey CarvilleHOST
what matters to you is it the ability to earn as much money as possible to buy on the basis of want rather than need this way of living means a never-ending cycle of consumerism from the seeds that are planted to grow our crops to the seemingly never-ending dependence on fossil fuels which are burning earth When is enough enough? How about an economy that is designed for the health of people and the planet instead? What part can we all play in making this happen? Well, Christian Noll is a climate policy and knowledge exchange expert currently working in the London School of Economics.
Audrey CarvilleHOST
And this week he launched a report based on a conference held at Queen's University on Earth Day.
Audrey CarvilleHOST
It's called An Economy of Enough in a Time of Crisis and Opportunity.
Audrey CarvilleHOST
So how does he define enough?
Kristian NollGUEST
Within my own Christian tradition, it's the discipline of the Sabbath.
Kristian NollGUEST
And I think always having our eyes forward, always wanting to do more, to gain more, to talk more, to accumulate more, actually binds us to that mindset that prevents us from sitting back and just looking around the world and thinking about how good we really do have it.
Audrey CarvilleHOST
What advice? I mean, on the basis of the conference that took place earlier this year in Queen's University on Earth Day, and now this report, if you were to advise us all who are listening to you this morning, How will we know how much is enough? How will we know when we are satisfied with enough? What advice can you give us?
Kristian NollGUEST
I think look around for and at the people that are around you.
Bobby McDonaghGUEST
If people are presented with facts, so-called facts, they become lazy in distinguishing about what's true and what's not.
Bobby McDonaghGUEST
And there was a Northern Ireland, Queen's University professor who I was at a meeting recently who said that most of her students' essays are written entirely by AI.
Bobby McDonaghGUEST
And her concern, although very concerned about what's happening in universities, was even more that these young people are going out into society without any capacity to think for themselves.
Bobby McDonaghGUEST
So, your question I'm coming to in a long-winded way is, what can we do? Well, at the European level, we can encourage Europe to provide an ethical framework for AI.
Denis O'DriscollHOST
You're actually doing what you should have been doing as a pharmacist.
Joanne KissaneGUEST
And it's exciting when you think, I mean, I was in Queen's University last week and I had said to you there was an all Ireland pharmacy conference.
Joanne KissaneGUEST
So all the schools of pharmacy in Ireland were together.
Joanne KissaneGUEST
And to see new pharmacy graduates having qualified in Northern Ireland and on the register now for in the Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland and the General Pharmaceutical Council.
Dara FrawleyHOST
Anyways, in Division 2A of the Energia All-Ireland League, last year's beaten playoff finalist, Shannon RFC, under the director of rugby, Lee Nicholas, would be looking to go one better this year.
Dara FrawleyHOST
Queen's University, relegated from Division 1B last year, will obviously look to at least consolidate their place in Division 2.
Dara FrawleyHOST
Ballymena RFC in Eton Park have had a storied history in Division 1 and they will be looking to get back to Division 1B this season Greystones with Danny Kenny I've had a brilliant couple of seasons in Division 2A and a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde season like Nace last season but they're also here as well Ray Maloney has taken the full reins in Cashel after being involved he may have been head coach there last year my apologies but Ray and Gerbark have a great story in Kilkenny that they'll regale you about if we ever do a roadshow out there.
Dara FrawleyHOST
But Cashel, when you're ad-libbing, it's very difficult to actually have stuff in front of you when you don't have notes.
Pia ComerHOST
Looking back, do you think that any of those earlier contexts prepared you better for that question than, say, the academic philosophy that you've been so heavily engaged in did?
Philip McCormackGUEST
Well, before I ever went to Queen's University to do my undergraduate degree, I have a Bachelor of Divinity from Queen's.
Philip McCormackGUEST
I used to say when people asked me, where were you educated? I would say Queen's.
Philip McCormackGUEST
And if you come from Northern Ireland, people would automatically say university.
David KeysGUEST
And he was giving a lecture about how all the tree rings in the world really went haywire somewhere in the middle of the 6th century.
speaker_5NARRATOR
30 years ago, when he was a physics student, Professor Mike Bailey of Queen's University in Belfast pioneered a revolutionary idea in a totally different field to his own.
speaker_5NARRATOR
He devised a computer system which would put trees to scientific use.
Riley GreenADVERTISER
Hey, this is Riley Green, and I'm here to warn you about the dangers of Hey Dude shoes.
Stephen NolanHOST
And they want to convey that message to a new generation and the authorities are letting them do it.
Stephen NolanHOST
Dominic Bryan, Professor in Anthropology at Queen's University, former co-chair of the Commission on Flags, Identity and Culture.
Stephen NolanHOST
Morning to you, Dominic.
Dominic BryanGUEST
Morning, Stephen.
Tim McGarryHOST
Into a hotel or into a house to live in? Just
Melanie HarrisonGUEST
an apartment, and there was people downstairs in the offices, and then the offices moved out, and then I started having some Airbnb rooms, and I loved it because you're near the Lyric there, you're near the Mandela Hall, you're near Queen's University, the museum.
Melanie HarrisonGUEST
You always had interesting guests come, and I said, this is the best thing I've ever done.
Melanie HarrisonGUEST
I loved hearing all the stories because, yeah, the house has stories, but all the people come with stories from all around the world, and I tend to get all international people, and I love that, so it's my next best thing to travel in.
