Watson and West Cork Education Centre launched a Science competition for students to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the discovery of the structure of DNA by J.D. Watson and F.H. Crick.
The competition, which is open to all schools throughout Ireland, was specifically designed to increase awareness of Genetic understanding and research. Students are invited to submit an essay/poem illustrating the Story of DNA and RNA.
