SciFest 2025

May 9, 2025

Huge congratulations to Sara Grant (2nd Year) who won one of the top prizes at the DCU SciFest competition yesterday.

There were over 240 projects submitted for consideration and Sara won one of the 15 top prizes on the day. (Dawn Meats Sponsored Agricultural Science Award) 

Sara’s project (Lord of the roots: The Fellowship of the Fungi!) explored the relationship between mycorrhizal fungi and initial root growth and a comparison of different composts with different fungal content.

Sara designed her own experiments and collected data over several months and came to several interesting conclusions.

We are hugely proud of Sara and this significant achievement – Well Done!!
