Work experience in TCD science labs

Tacitha

On behalf of a friend - who should be contacted if you want to arrange transition-year work experience in a science lab in college? And (he's fairly open about the branch of science) what might be most interesting?

I'm afraid theyve missed the Physics programme "TYPE",it started today... Not too sure bout the other sciences though.

Best of Luck

Thanks - I had an idea sooner might be better! Presume they don't take random stragglers during the year - I suppose they'd want to be mad...

I did work experience in physiology department in Trinity college a few years back. It was really good cause it gave me a real taste of what college was like....the atmosphere,students etc.

I got in contact with one of the Professors in the Physiology department. They are quite receptive to students who are considering doing their course. I would suggest either you email one or better still call them.

Good Luck

yeah I think you should contact the head of department in some of the different schools within science.

Thanks very much for that - I will go direct to the top then, and try the heads of department - physiology as well. This has been a great help - being an arts end type, I've never so much as set foot in a lab.

I could do with a slave. Oops, I'd be happy to have someone do my donkey work down here. A hardworking mute need apply. Preferably one without any papers or records of their existance so I can laser the ****ers if they screw up me equipment.
