The Stream (with Will & Tom)

Ep 5: Water. Paddleboarding. Innovation with Fiona Regan

March 10, 2021 Will Sarni & Tom Freyberg Season 2 Episode 5

In this week’s episode, Fiona Regan, a professor in chemistry at Dublin City University and director of the DCU Water Institute, joins Will & Tom to talk about how Fiona fell in love with water, found her purpose and wants to bring others on her journey.


Plus, learn why fishermen & paddleboarders are key to the citizen science movement, the importance of not just more data on water quality, but actionable data, and how scaling up of a water transfer office – lessons learned so far and the need to “get out of the lab”.
