Thanks to Prof. Kylie Vincent for her inspiring talk “Exploiting Hydrogenases: From Biotechnology to Inspiration for Future Energy.” Her work on nickel-iron hydrogenases nature’s own hydrogen catalysts shows how fundamental chemistry can power greener technologies and future energy innovation.

This week we hosted @astra-zeneca.bsky.social chemical development's analytical science outreach team for a full day of activities with our student cohort around career opportunities in AZ beyond synthetic chemistry.

We are looking forward to hosting you again next year.

Our Elements of Success: Building Confidence in Chemistry project continues! Students tackled a lab investigation, learned how to design a research poster, and began creating their own. We can't wait for the celebration event in under 2 weeks!

Today we have year 12 chemists from Kirkbie Kendal School visiting us for an Aspirin Masterclass and an energy talk. Student are stepping into the shoes of real chemists — synthesising aspirin in the lab and gaining hands-on experience with university-level techniques. 🧫🧴

We have had chemists from Burnley College with us today. They had an exciting day diving into a body in the lab masterclass, a campus tour and unwrapping the science behind the chemistry of chocolate.

A great day exploring real world chemistry in action, from crime scenes to cocoa beans!

🧪🔬 Thank you to Rossall School for visiting us for the Body in the Lab masterclass session.

It was a pleasure to welcome such curious and enthusiastic students — your forensic skills were put to the test, and you all rose to the challenge brilliantly! 🕵️‍♀️🧬

Looking forward to seeing you again soon

Thank you to the five colleges visiting us today for the first visit as part of the Elements of Success: Building Confidence in Chemistry Project.

It was great to see all the students getting hands-on in the lab, exploring our facilities, and diving into employability skills.

See you next month!
