Deeply saddened by the loss of Prof. Dervilla Donnelly @ucdchemistry. She was a brilliant scientist, a trailblazer for women in academia and in public life in Ireland, and a kind and supportive mentor to many, myself included. irishtimes.com/ireland/2024/…

Renowned Irish scientist Dervilla Donnelly dies aged 94

‘Remarkable woman with an extraordinary career’ taught at UCD from 1956 and became an internationally respected chemist
