"I had heard about Tyndall as I was already in Ireland and Tyndall kept popping up as a centre of excellence for research.  For me, the best things include the lab facilities and the availability of a wide range of equipment.  As well as that, Tyndall provides a friendly environment."

"I found this project online.  Tyndall has a very good reputation internationally and there is some fabulous work going on.  I would advise potential students to think carefully about the research project, you will invest a lot of your time and energy, make sure it's what you want to do and enjoy doing."
