Biographical note

Project Summary:Debating Science Issues is a cross-border competition where young people are invited to engage in debate on the cultural, societal and ethical implications of advances in biomedical science. Irish Second Level students (15–18 years) partake in one of a series of three-hour workshops teaching the fundamentals of nanotechnology, stem cell research, GM foods, immunisations, or self-testing diagnostic kits. Harnessing the enthusiasm gained, a debate series ensues throughout all four provinces. Fine-tuned through reflection on past practice and evaluation, co-hosted by seven Irish research centres and W5 and Queen’s University Belfast.
