tags so please delete the info or provide a source (and if you delete it, I'll still pass it as "long enough" under
WP:IAR). Otherwise, it's adequately sourced. Provost is not a proper noun so has to have lower case as per
MOS:JOBTITLES (e.g. in the hook, where I have changed it; please change in the article as needed). Similarly, drop caps for "Vice-President" and "Dean" etc. I had not heard of
STEAM and thought it was a spelling mistake of
STEM; maybe provide the unabbreviated name in parentheses. The phrase "also including" sounds a bit clumsy and given we have three women, may use "alongside" instead. Under "Publications", it might pay to use a more common citation style than what's shown here; have a look at the section "Examples" of
parenthetical referencing. Earwig is happy. The hook is fine. The photo is suitably licensed. QPQ has been done.

Nice biog., guys. And fair play for mentioning the gallery. But you may need to put some context, as it has actually generated real anger in Dublin and there are reasons why people point at the new Provost (you really should capitalize the title):
1) the idea to close seemed to come out of nowhere, just months into the professor's term, and this is someone who claims to be "into" science-to-public engagement and encouragement of young people to get into STEM (and maybe this new STEAM). At least she could have told her finance people "hang on, new in the chair, it just reopened, give it six months and come back with ideas."
2) the "losses" it makes are trivial in the context of Trinner's budget, and Trinity is not a commercial enterprise.
3) it provided a great opportunity for both junior academics, as "moderator-guides," and seniors, and nothing is proposed instead. Luke O'Neill and Aoife McLysaght are always mentioned but there were many others whose profile and skills were boosted by the gallery.
4) it already tried to do something Prof Doyle claims to believe in, merging science and art. I was there for the opening show, and it was something like "stars and optical effects," genuinely impressive.
5) the gallery was one of a dozen items quoted as projects during Trinity's massive fundraising of a couple of years ago, and some of us gave partly because of that. Where's the money gone?
6) no new proposal for outreach was made, even as a stop-gap. And the news came in the same month that the Childrens' Science Museum, due for the NCH / Iveagh Gardens site, saw its planning permission be allowed to expire.
7) at the least there should have been a survey of visitors, a campus consultation, advance discussions with the government (not hasty ones after the bomb went off), a few calls to other colleges to see if someone progressive, say TUD or DCU, would share. None of that happened, and that's a failure of leadership. Even now, not much of that has happened. How hard would it be to run some surveys and focus groups, as academic projects maybe.
8) the communication. Dire, "Patrick the Hermit" all over again. Hide in House One (No. 1 Grafton Street), say nothing. Nothing on Twitter, even when TCD professors and donors were commenting, no answer to journalists at the Business Post or Times, nothing.
This may not all be useable and maybe some of it belongs more on the article of the gallery, but you'll find most of these points in the Irish media, at least.

This is a major theme in the prof's work, and you might want to expand on it. More at https://lindadoyle.ie/, on the OMG page (the name is not as funny as the abbreviation), but also try the Times.
Another topic, might be worth mentioning some of the major telecoms and IT companies Doyle worked or researched with, for sure Bell Labs and Intel, probably Nokia, Ericsson, Cisco too. 194.186.188.228 ( talk) 09:55, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
I'd like to take this article to Good Article eventually. As a step towards more complete cover, any information on patents would be welcome, as well as further photography, and more on the early academic career. SeoR ( talk) 21:25, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
