On the programme today: -
we were joined in the studio by Haafizah Hoosen, a remarkable young woman who is carving a place for herself in a very male dominated section of the science world - studying for a Doctorate in Parasitology - and is on a mission to educate and inspire others to follow in her footsteps. You can check out her blog and follow her progress here: www.thatsaplan.co.uk/
- also today, as it's October 31st and the Island is in full Hop Tu Naa swing, we heard the Manx Bard Annie Kissack* s poem written especially for the spooky date, dedicated to the humble "Moot" (*Annie will be our guest on the Conister Rock on Friday's programme, sharing music and memories with us)
- and Alex Wotton spoke to Yvonne Cresswell from Manx National Heritage to look at the oldest Manx tradition's complex history. You can find out much more about Hop Tu Naa on Culture Vannin's page here
