The people of Limerick are being asked to #StopAndAsk questions about the world around them as part of Science Foundation Ireland’s national Science Week which runs from Sunday, November 12 to Sunday November 19.
The Festival organisers are calling on people to ask those questions they’ve always wanted to know about the world around them.
Whether it’s: “why do I experience fear?”; “how can I kick the perfect penalty kick?” or even “is there any truth to the ‘sunny south east’?” – the people of Limerick are being encouraged to ask their question on social media.
To join the conversation, use the hashtag #StopAndAsk and tweet, Instagram or Facebook your question. Science Foundation Ireland and its partners in the Irish science community, will try to answer the best questions throughout the week.

Science of Gardening – Limerick Science Learning Hub, Kileely from 4.30pm to 5.30pm on Monday, November 13.
