‘Articulate, confident and competent’ young scientists

GOOD science with a spark of creativity — that’s the formula for success for any budding scientist.

Picking the winner at this year’s Young Scientist competition is no easy task for the 79 adjudicators — with the 500 top-class projects whittled down from 1,616 for the finals at the RDS in Dublin.

Nevertheless, the judges will have to decide later today on the overall winner or winners.
