Hello, and welcome to this fine episode of View From The Quad, available at www.viewfromthequad.com!

Heya, and welcome to this episode of View From the Quad! For some reason, I was granted a media pass to this year’s BT Young Scientist awards, and so I attended, microphone in hand, to interview some of the brightest sparks that I could find in Ireland. Get ready to feel inadequacy brought on by three minute chats with people younger then you! (Keep an ear out for a live performance of a musical saw!)

Tommy Collison with his project entitled “Examining the attitude of secondary school students towards blogs”. You can find Tommy at his blog on www.TrustTommy.com, and find his full report online at http://tinyurl.com/ydp5xnb
