Young scientists enjoy experimenting on NUI Galway campus!

Doing experiments with liquid nitrogen, turning 2 cent coins gold and sliver, extracting DNA and learning all about exotic animals - our young participants at the Scientist For a Day workshop learned all about what it is like to be a scientist in the laboratories of NUI Galway! Run as a collaboration between Kitchen Chemistry, Cell EXPLORERS and Eco EXPLORERS, the one day workshop on February 16th gave an opportunity for children to come on campus, into one of the universities teaching laboratories, to learn from real scientists and science students about different aspects of chemistry, molecular biology, zoology and ecology. Thanks to all that attended and if you couldn't make it this time, keep an eye out for announcements every Autumn and Spring midterm for workshops that might be coming up!
