PCCP was delighted to sponsor the 31st Symposium on Free Radicals, held last week in Port Douglas, Australia, where a PCCP student Poster Prize was awarded.

The symposium was chaired by Evan Bieske and Scott Kable and around 100 scientific participants attended the meeting, along with their families. The strong scientific activity was reflected through 35 talks and 60 poster presentations. The meeting had 80 scientists from Japan, Taiwan, USA and Europe, and around 20 from Australia.

Congratulations to James Ge who was awarded with the PCCP Student Prize.
