The 150 graduate students and their supervisors from Ontario and Quebec in Canada and Michigan and Ohio in the USA that attended the lecture were treated to a rousing performance in which Professor Parkin recounted his latest research results on the coordination chemistry of mercury alkyls along with a fascinating historical and environmental perspective of the subject. The audience was thoroughly entertained as Parkin engaged them in vigorous discussions and amazed them with a variety of magic tricks – a real treat!
