Salters Festival of Chemistry at UCC

Well done to our team of scientists who represented the Coláiste Muire 

at Salter's Festival of Chemistry in UCC recently! 

First year students on the team: 

Niamh Morgan, Niamh O'Shea, Ben Barrett and Tony Lynch 

As well as representing the school in the laboratory during the chemistry competition, the students also toured some important parts of the UCC campus.

At the end of the day, our students had an exclusive tour of a research laboratory from Coláiste Muire past pupil Paul Buckley, who is working on his PhD in atmospheric chemistry in UCC. Paul explained how each of the instruments in his lab are used to collect and analyse information about the quality of air in Ireland. 

Thank you to Salter's Institute of Chemistry and to the Chemistry department at UCC for organising and hosting this successful event.
