A richly-illustrated digital essay imagining the future of energy through science fiction has won University College Cork student Ayomide Ajani the 2023 Mary Mulvihill Award.

The fourth year student studying microbiology is the first winner from UCC in the science media competition for third-level students commemorating the legacy of science journalist and author Mary Mulvihill, and wins a prize of \u20ac2,000.

Her entry highlights how literary considerations of energy have often reflected uncertainties surrounding the relationships between science, technology and society.
