Last week saw the Dalton Younger Members Event (DYME) held at the University of Bath. This is a free biennial event designed to support PhD students and post-doctoral researchers within the Inorganic community, providing presentation and networking opportunities for early career researchers in a relaxed and friendly setting.
The event was organised by Dr Jennifer Garden (University of Edinburgh) and Emma Sackville (University of Bath), the post-doctoral and PhD representatives of the RSC Dalton Division, and featured plenary talks by Robin Bedford, Rebecca Melen, and Geoff Spikes as well as a packed schedule of oral and poster presentations by PhD and post-doctoral researchers.
Dalton Transactions was on hand to offer prizes for the best oral and poster presentations. The winners were:
| Best Oral Presentations:
Conrad Goodwin (University of Manchester) Alice Johnson (University of Zaragoza)
Best Poster Presentations: Jamie Hunter (University of Edinburgh) Kristine Laws (King’s College London) Gemma Trott (University of Oxford) |
