ISTA who is also a voluntary organisation, very kindly selected The Caroline Foundation as their chosen charity for the National Finals of the annual ISTA Senior Science Quiz which took place in Trinity College Dublin on Saturday 21st November. The Edmund Burke theatre was filled to capacity with 48 teams of Leaving Certificate science students from all around Ireland along with their teachers who are members of the Irish Science Teachers’ Association – the professional association for teachers of science subjects in the Republic of Ireland. PharmaChemical Ireland sponsored the event and the Dublin Branch of ISTA organised the Final with quiz coordinator Mary Mullaghy.  A special thanks to Dr Conor O’Brien, current President of ISTA and Dr Aoibhínn Ní Shúilleabháin who acted as quizmaster and last but not least the students, teachers and parents who attended.
