Sir, – Your coverage of the BT Young Scientist awards demonstrated the many excellent research accomplishments by the young scholars. As a competitor 40 years ago (Eighth Annual Young Scientists’ Exhibition, 1972), I entered a geographical study of South County Dublin with regard to future development. I wish I could say that I anticipated the many changes in this area, but the pace of development has exceeded my wildest imaginings.
In my own case, however, I have continued my geographical studies. – Yours, etc,
