6th RSC Analytical Biosciences Group Early Career Researcher Meeting

Chemical Science poster prize winner Seán Doyle (left) from Maynooth University with Chemical Science Assistant Editor William King

The 6th RSC Analytical Biosciences Group Early Career Researcher Meeting was recently held at the University of Cambridge, UK from 28-29th March. Chemical Science were proud to support the meeting, and Chemical Science Assistant Editor William King attended to meet with delegates and represent the Royal Society of Chemistry.

The annual meeting is organised by the RSC Analytical Biosciences Group and aims to engage early career researchers in debate and discussions about all areas of analytical biosciences, providing the opportunity to network with other researchers in the field. Speakers gave a broad overview of the current state of the art for analytical techniques, with detailed examples of their applications in biosciences.

We were proud to present Seán Doyle from Maynooth University with the Chemical Science poster prize for his poster on ‘In vivo monitoring of cholinergic neurotransmission with a microelectrochemical choline biosensor’. Congratulations to Seán!

7th UK Solar Fuels Network Symposium

The 7th UK Solar Fuels Network Symposium was held at the University of Cambridge, UK on 28th – 29th February 2019. The meeting was chaired by Professor Erwin Reisner, director of the Solar Fuels Network. Chemical Science were proud to sponsor the meeting, alongside Energy & Environmental Science and Sustainable Energy & Fuels, which are other Royal Society of Chemistry journals.

The meeting was an opportunity to bring together members of the Solar Fuels Network to meet up and discuss the latest advances in the field of solar-driven fuels research and provided an excellent opportunity for interaction with the rapidly expanding network of Solar Fuels researchers in the UK and beyond. The main meeting was followed by a half day post-graduate symposium at which PhD students and early career researchers had the opportunity to present their work. This meeting made up part of a larger ‘Solar Fuels Week’, taking place after the Artificial Photosynthesis Faraday Discussion and the Doppler Symposium.

Chemical Science Assistant Editor Carri Cotton was in attendance to meet with the delegates and represent the Royal Society of Chemistry. She also helped present a talk prize on behalf of Chemical Science and some poster prizes on behalf of Energy & Environmental Science and Sustainable Energy & Fuels:

  • Chemical Science talk prize winner: Katarzyna Sokol
  • Energy & Environmental Science poster prize winner: Hui Luo
  • Sustainable Energy & Fuels poster prize winner: Alexander Kibler
