Young scientist Patrick impresses in Moscow

LIMERICK student Patrick Collison is flying high after scooping a second prize at the prestigious EU Contest for Young Scientists yesterday.

The 17-year-old who attends Castletroy College emerged as the Esat BT Young Scientist of the Year at the RDS in January.

But the success did not stop there, as judges in the European competition held in Moscow over the last four days were highly impressed by Patrick’s computer programming project.
