Tour of the State Laboratories

November 16th, all transition year students were taken to the State Laboratories in Maynooth. We left at around nine o'clock and we were back in the school and all by 12 o'clock. What seems like a short period of time seemed like ages. When we arrived we were brought into a room where we were given a talk about what they do there and the different departments in the building. After the talk had finished we were separated into differnt groups. We were given lab coats and soon enough we headed off for the tour. 
We were shown around all of the different departments with different people that work in there. We were told what happens in each of the different departments. We also got to see some of the people who work there working on different things. We also saw some samples of different tissues from animals. We saw kidney and liver samples and more.
Overall it was very good and interesting :)
