First up @AmyHFitzpatrick organised a #VirusHunters 🦠🔍day for local secondary schools. We all lead small groups in making scientific posters based on @FrontYoungMinds articles. Hopefully we inspired a few #FutureScientists #STEM #ScienceEducation

Amy Fitzpatrick@AmyHFitzpatrick

Thrilled to host secondary schools for #VirusHunters project! We made scientific posters from @FrontYoungMinds articles with guidance from @NerdyNic, @KevPurves, @HBrown0890, Hannah Callaghan & @CathrinMcCarney. Thanks to support from @IrishResearch @MicrobioSoc @UCD_CHAS
