Science is a rap for science students

IF you’ve got chemistry — as well as some rhythm and rhyme — here’s your chance to rap about it.

Science Raps, a science week competition organised by the Alimentary Pharmabiotic Centre based at University College Cork, challenges second- and third-level students to compose, perform and video a rap on The Chemistry of Life.

The centre is recognised as one of the leading establishments in its field. Thomson Reuters Science Watch recently ranked UCC number two in the world for probiotics research, due to publications from researchers in the AP Centre.
