My Science Career A new website, penned MyScienceCareer.ie, has been launched which aims to provide resources to help people find out more about a career in science, technology, engineering or mathematics. The website is produced by Discover Science & Engineering (DSE), the Irish Government initiative which aims to increase interest in science, technology, innovation and engineering among students, teachers and members of the public in Ireland. The DSE is also responsbible for websites like science.ie, the excellent and award winning primaryscience.ie and one of my favourite blogs myscience.ie. The new site contains a famous Irish scientists section, science related articles, a science career glossary, video interviews with scientists about their work and a wonderful “Science Ambassadors” section profiling Irish scientists of today.
