We were delighted to host 45 Transition Year students from Presentation College, Cork to complete the DNA workshop, on the 14th of November.
Students from the 4th year Biochemistry class; Ali Al-Janabi, Alexandra Binchy, Maria Bjorsell, Molly Boyle, Hannah Daly, Adam Duane, Aoife Kelliher, Elena Liutkute, Rebecca Morgan, Ailis Mulhall and Abigail O’Sullivan demonstrated to the students and did an excellent job showing the students how to use the equipment and set up the experiments, providing the students with a very educational and fun experience. The transition year students were accompanied by their Science teachers Ms Claire Lynch and Mr Cian Bohane, who considered this a wonderful day for their students. They were also delighted to have Adam Duane, a past student from Presentation College, demonstrate to their current students.
Dr Sinéad Kerins would like to thank Abigail, Adam, Ailis, Ali, Aoife, Elena, Hannah, Maria, Molly and Rebecca for demonstrating and Ms Trish Fowler for all the pre-workshop preparatory work, which allowed the workshops to run so efficiently, and Dr Patrycja Zakrys for assisting the demonstrators during the day. Thanks also to Ms Mary Heapes for taking pictures on the day.
The money raised from this event was donated to a Movember fundraiser, in aid of mental health and suicide prevention
