Thank you to the team at Cell Explorers who came in to 5th & 6th class today. The children had the opportunity to question scientists about themselves, what they do, how they became a scientist along with science related questions. A thoroughly enjoyable morning! Cell EXPLORERS


"With Cell EXPLORERS I'm in in primary schools, helping kids find an appreciation for science and encouraging them to get actively engaged with science...Once I’m done in the classroom, I head over to the recording studio where I volunteer on Flirt FM 101.3." #WeAct 🧪🎙️



🚀Last week, our Cell EXPLORERS Team, led by Mona Heiland, brought hands-on science to St Mochta's NS, Clonsilla! Over 200 5th & 6th class students extracted real DNA from bananas and explored the exciting research at #FutureNeuro. Big thanks to the school for the warm welcome!


Look at the brilliant FutureNeuro Centre Cellexplorers team who met the young scientists of StMochta NS! Well done Mona & team! #FantaticDNA #ScienceRoleModels Research Ireland
