Welcome to Week 12 of The Buzz Newsletter!
It’s Week 12 of The Buzz Newsletter, and there are more student successes to celebrate! Congratulations to 5th Year students Aditi Kadem and Haotian Sheng who emerged in the top 30 if 180 participants from round 1 to make it through to round 2 of the Irish Olympiad of Experimental Science (IrEOES) which took place at the Glasnevin campus of DCU on Saturday 9th November.

Sparking Joy is back! Sparking Joy is our most popular competition, bringing a lovely energy with it and making everyone smile. Whether it is your pet, a sea view or a floating Autumn leaf – we would love to see it, so please share the joy and send in your photos.

Thank you to Róisín Doyle for sharing the daily Irish scientist spotlights, science riddles and moodle activities. Thank you also to Dee Kelly for running experiments with the 4th Years. It was a great week of inspiring people to engage with science, engineering and technology!
