Maher’s diet of book and ball paying rich dividends

Ger O’Keeffe has had a little word in Anthony Maher’s ear last weekend. The advice was clear — ease up on the studying this week.

With a PhD thesis due in UL in October, that’s easier said than done. Especially when the subject, crystal transformation and crystallisation methodologies, sounds so intimidating.

Pharmaceutical and chemistry student Maher won’t lie — it’s a demanding body of work so he’s heeded his selector’s pearl of wisdom. At least partially.
