Letter to my 17 Year Old Self

I WISH, recognising the important of female role models in persuading girls to study STEM, have asked women in at all stages of their STEM career, to a write a letter to their 17 year old self - exploring what they were like, what they wished they knew back then, why STEM is important to them now and who inspired them.

Both Professor Sarah Culloty, Head of the College of Science, Engineering and Food Science and Professor Anita Maguire, Vice President for Research & Innovation UCC, have supplied a letter and video, providing sincere and valuable advice to young girls considering STEM as a career.
