THERE are some exciting projects on the way to the Young Scientist contest from Gaelcholaiste Luimni in Sir Harry’s Mall.
Two of its students have placed a focus on medical projects, one group is looking at the intake of iron in both a vegetarian and an omnivore diet, and there is also a look at the thorny issue of gender representation in politics.
For Sarah Moloney, 17, it was her grandmother’s experiences when taking her medication which inspired her to design a pill dispenser.
Unlike other products like hers on the market, the high-tech device has a special functionality, which will place a stop on any patient taking the wrong medical combination.
