Then at the national final in Dublin, the standard of the other speakers from universities around the country was really high, so again I couldn’t believe it when the judges awarded me in first place. I’ve also looked at various types of cells that scientists grow in the lab to experiment on for ovarian cancer, to help identify which cells are most like tumours, so they will likely give the most applicable results.When I was at school in Meath, I wasn’t sure what I wanted study after my Leaving Cert. So I went to University College Dublin to study science as it would provide a lot of options, and for my undergrad I studied plant science.
