Patrick Yates is in the first year of his PhD at the Research School of Chemistry, and with a passion for teaching has recently been appointed as one of three new teaching fellows in the school. In doing so he believes he’s taking both his research and his teaching to the next level.
Dr Brendan Burkett, a Research School of Chemistry alumnus who has now left academia, has taken a different approach. His series of comics, ChemScrapes, is connecting with students, academics and the general population to get them inspired in chemistry.
