About the Book

In this fascinating and thought-provoking book, Ireland’s favourite scientist Professor Luke O’Neill grapples with life’s biggest questions and tells us what science has to say about them: Do we have control over our lives? Can we escape working in bullsh*t jobs? Must we vaccinate? Are men’s and women’s brains different? Will we destroy the planet? As he covers topics such as global pandemics, addiction and euthanasia, Luke’s trademark easy wit and clever pop-culture references deconstruct the science to make complex questions accessible. Arriving at science’s definitive answers to some of the most controversial issues human beings have to contend with, Never Mind the B#ll*cks, Here’s the Science is a celebration of science and hard facts in a time of fake news and sometimes unhelpful groupthink.

About the Author :
Luke O'Neill is Professor of Biochemistry in the School of Biochemistry and Immunology at Trinity College Dublin. Described by Pat Kenny, as 'as rare a creature and exotic a discovery as the Galapagos Islands', Luke has been ranked among the best immunologists in the world. He is in the top 1% of most-cited researchers in his field. In 2016 he was made a Fellow of the prestigious Royal Society for his innovative work on the human immune system. He has a popular weekly slot on Newstalk's Pat Kenny Show where he specialises in expertly delivering answers to the most complex questions in science in his uniquely hilarious manner. Ruairi Conaghan is an Irish actor with a wealth of experience. Some of Ruairi’s highlights in television and film include: Downton Abbey, The Suspicions of Mr Whicher, Waking the Dead and Silent Witness. He has performed in the West End, Off Broadway, The National Theatre, The Royal Court and most major theatres inside and outside of London. Ruairi’s audiobook narrations include Her Last Goodnight by Michael Scanlon and Wild Shores by Richard Nairn.

Review :
'With his appealing voice and moderate accent, Irish national Ruairi Conaghan performs this entertaining review of popular science topics, written by an Irish biochemistry professor with a knack for accessible writing. The summaries of what science knows about topics like gender differences, discrimination, and global warming intend to debunk common misconceptions and resolve gnarly controversies. The topics and the sheer volume of impressive research need careful handling to moderate the potential "know-it-all" tone of this type of writing. Conaghan's amiable narration keeps the audio light and prevents the author's love of science from sounding too nerdy. Though the conventions of the Irish language and culture will require adjustments for some Americans, the information is so fascinating that most people will find it hard to stop listening.'
