Greetings from Hungary/Ireland

[btb300]

Hi Everyone!

I finally noticed that there is a place for introduction so here you go. I am András from Hungary, currently living in Ireland while doing a PhD, and enjoying the country's mischievous weather with my wife and daughter. While not an active figure collector at the moment I have a long-time interest in dinasurs and paleontology in general, so I am really happy to come across this community and look forward to engaging in conversations/discussions/maybe even debates with you 

Regards
András

Welcome to the forum

Welcome! Coincidence - I also moved to Ireland to do my PhD. I was at UCD, it would surely be too much of a coincidence if you're there too!? I also worked for a while at TCD and in the National Museum of Ireland (Natural History), have you visited? Now I am back in the UK.

Call it too much but I am also at UCD Although I don't reside in Dublin as I am taking part in a so-called employment based research programme and work at a company elsewhere. I haven't yet had the chance to visit the museum, would you recommend it? A few weeks ago we visited the zoo, that's where I saw some nice dinosaur toys (probably Papo, didn't check though) in the gift shop which made me start searching the web for info on them, and finally led me here
Thanks everyone for welcoming!

Funny, it is a small world! This very forum was conceived in a lab in UCD all those years ago.

I strongly recommend the museum if you're into biology/anatomy/zoology. It is free, so there's no excuse to skip it
The museum is nicknamed the 'Dead Zoo' so it might make a sombre contrast to your Dublin Zoo visit. There are some fossils on display, including giant Irish deer, but most of the fossil collection, including the Jurassic reptiles I studied for my PhD, are currently behind the scenes in storage. The museum shop sold only Schleich when I was last there about three years ago.

I have checked the website with the 3D virtual visit option, I will definitely put it on my list for this year. Judging from what I saw there i have to agree with the nickname, the number of stuffed animals is amazing.
