Our PhD ambassadors are key to the success of our Current Chemistry Investigators (CCI) project. As well as helping everyone learn more about green energy, we also provide tangible role models for budding young scientists. Our team of 8 brilliant PhD researchers from Trinity College Dublin & Atlantic Technological University Sligo “sparked conversations” with about 2000 people at the Cork Carnival of Science again for the second year in a row. Thank you to all of our PhD ambassadors for their enthusiasm, professionalism and generosity with this time.
They are all inspiring Role Models – we had many children return to us for more chats! Thank you to Science Foundation Ireland for their support & to the Tánaiste Michael Martin TD for visiting our stand as well. Also, well done to our Royal Society of Chemistry undergrad summer student Dearbhla who undertook a detailed survey with participants about our activities and their interactions with our PhD ambassadors. The feedback we gathered was overwhelmingly positive and we look forward to publishing the results for everyone to see very soon.
