5th Year Chemistry student, Andrew Enright, attended the careers talk hosted by Trinity on Tuesday, 11th November as part of Science Week.
To extend our knowledge and interests in the field of Chemistry, 5th and 6th Year Chemistry students went to Trinity College Dublin to attend a lecture in careers to do with Chemistry.
It was great to see the state-of-the-art Science Department at Trinity and the lecture was both informative and enjoying. It opened up a whole new interest in chemistry for many of us, as we learnt about a variety of interesting careers, ranging from ink-cartridge development to the manufacturing of glue.
