''It is a privilege to contribute to the Section's activities. I feel it is an important responsibility to assist in communicating highest quality psychological research to the public, and it is an important mission to emphasise the scientific side of studying human behaviour. I have really enjoyed participating in the Festival of Science, and benefited from feedback from the public about my scientific work'' - Padriac Monaghan, Section Recorder
