Mary Mulvihill, Ingenious Ireland
Ingenious Ireland is led by Mary Mulvihill, who is passionate about Ireland’s science heritage. From great inventions and discoveries, to fascinating fossils and old mines – Mary loves it all.
In a previous existence, she worked as a geneticist and statistician in agricultural research where, among other things, she judged pedigree cattle and developed a computer dating service for the country’s cows. But that’s another story!
