Fantastic!
This kind of work must be very satisifing.
You do the sciences and education a great service Deirdre.
You should be commended for it.
Some of those drawings are really very good.

Deirdre,

I second Frank's sentiment. This is magnificent stuff. I really hope you appreciate the tremendous service you do. If this country is to have a prosperous future, it will only be by encouraging the kids to participate in science related activity and taking that a step further into their future careers.

You do all of this with such enthusiasm and selflessness.

Long may you continue with your wonderful vocation!

Thanks Frank and Dave , Deadly Moons gets a great reaction from children ,I enjoy running it and the children produce extraordinary drawings. A sample of 50 - 60 drawings from children all over Ireland will be on display in Birr Castle Science Center from September 18th till mid November.

Approx 2000 children have taken part in the workshop over the last 18 months or so. The feedback is very interesting.
