My first post

My first post, this is my first of many blog entries I will make as I undertake the MSc in AgriFood sustainability and Tech here in NUIG. So a little about myself, I am 22 years old originally from Cavan, living in Galway. I graduated from NUIG in 2020 where I studied general science. After moving to Galway in 2016 it became my home away from home.

I choose plant and agribiosciences as my main module for final year where I carried out a final year research project titled ‘An investigation into fucoxanthin biosynthesis regulation by light on Phaeodactylum tricornutum‘. By carrying out this project I got the opportunity to meet and learn from many members of NUIG’s agribiosciences team. When I decided that I wanted to further my education by doing a masters I was quick to pick NUIG and a programme involving the agriobioscience team.
