Michael Lysaght (6th Year) outlines the talk that Biology students attended about the Genetics Revolution during Science Week 2011.
For Science Week 2011, a group consisting of the entire 4th Year class, and the 5th and 6th Year Biology students made their way towards the DIT on Kevin Street to attend a lecture on various Biology topics such as blood, cells and genetics.
Despite the distance of the long trek towards our destination, the lecture proved to be very informative and interesting. The students were allowed to go to the cafeteria afterwards to acquire some sustenance before making their way back to school for the remainder of the classes. Overall the lecutre gave the 4th years a good insight to the Biology curriculum and it gave 5th and 6th years a good source of revision.

The TY Horticulture class were out in the Autumn sunshine planting Spring bulbs using the chaos planting method. This is when a multitude of different spring bulbs (Hyacinths, Daffodils, Tulips, Crocuses, Narcissi) are mixed together and randomly planted so that we have a mixture of flowers and patterns emerging in the spring. It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
