Madam, - We read with interest an exchange in your letters column of June 13th regarding girls choosing careers in science, engineering and technology and the part that role-playing may have in encouraging this.

A CD generated by Women in Technology and Science (WITS) entitled Jobs for the Girls, containing the day to day occurrences in the careers of 40 women scientists and engineers, has just been launched on our behalf by Noel Dempsey, Minister for Education and Science. It is available to all interested role- players at www.witsireland.com. - Yours, etc.,
