Go for maths and physics, don’t be afraid of them, says Debbie

A YOUNG woman who scored the highest mark in this year’s Leaving Cert physics exam urged students yesterday to embrace science.

Debbie Buckley, 19, from Carrigtwohill in Co Cork, will be honoured by the Institute of Physics in Ireland early next year for her remarkable achievement.

Yesterday, she said younger students should try and get the most out of Science Week events which are running nationwide.
