NAM isn’t just attended by professional astronomers. At the Education & Outreach session a talk was given by Jacquie Milligan and pupils from a school south of Belfast - Glenlola Collegiate School. Jacquie is a biology teacher but has been using astronomy for various out-of-hours activities. The pupils have been using the Faulkes Telescope for various research projects and impressed all the professional astronomers and outreach people in the audience with their work. They were an inspiring group and at lunch I caught up with them to get an interview.
