We must harness the energy of Young Scientists to create brighter future

The RDS Exhibition Hall was bursting at the seams as the annual BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition got under way last week.
It was easy to spot hordes of young lads charging through the entrance at the Ballsbridge venue, earning glares from one or two of the security staff in the process. The official attendance was given as 45,000. I suspect this was an underestimate.
