The Trinity Student Scientific Review is now in its fourth year of publication. It was founded in 2015 by a group of seven students from the university,  in order to offer undergraduate science students the opportunity to engage with academic writing. We are delighted to welcome the Editorial Board for Volume IV of the review.
