The prize was awarded to Oyinda and one other student for excellence in presentation and understanding of the literature review aspect of their research project. Originally from Lagos, Nigeria, Oyinda is a former student of Athy Community College. Explaining what this award means to her, Oyinda said, “It means a lot to me, as it helps me to encourage others as to why nothing is impossible. My literature was based on organic chemistry, a particularly difficult module for me, or so I thought, but as the year went on it started making sense and I had to present my review to about 9 scientific lecturers which was extremely tough as I thought I would be completely thrown off and confused. Everything went extremely well and the reaction I got was incredible, never did I think I would win this award so it's a motivation for me to never stop trying because even impossible says I'm possible.” The awards were sponsored by the Pharmaceutical and Molecular Biotechnology Research Centre (PMBRC) at WIT and Dr Niall O’Reilly Centre Manager said, “We are delighted to sponsor the prizes for the best research project presentation. The 4th year project is an important opportunity for students to develop research skills and apply the knowledge learned in their studies to date. The PMBRC has supported 4th year students in their research projects over the last number of years and look forward to continuing this into the future." Source - Kildare Now Comments are closed.
