What our prize winners say
"The lecture tour provided an excellent opportunity to showcase the work of my research group. All hosts made me feel very welcome. They had advertised my talk widely. The presentations were very well-attended and on every occasion, I received relevant questions from the audience. I hope that the work presented might have inspired some students to opt for research in analytical chemistry, who knows, maybe as a PhD student or postdoctoral researcher at Ghent University!"
Professor Frank Vanhaecke, Ghent University, 2023 Analytical Science open prize: Theophilus Redwood Prize
"I wanted to thank the RSC again for this prize and the fantastic opportunity to speak to chemists around the country about the work we do. As a process chemist, I find people often don鈥檛 understand the role 鈥� which we can only remedy by going out and speaking about it. I had a fantastic time engaging with scientists I might not necessarily have met otherwise, and a great opportunity to engage directly with students. This has given ideas for future collaborations as well as enhancing my network."
Dr Katherine Wheelhouse FRSC, GSK, 2022 Organic 海角社区 mid-career Prize
"Thank you for funding the lectures. It has been a huge privilege to visit departments across the UK and tell them about my work and to hear about what they do. Winning the prize has been the highlight of my career and helped in so many ways such as increasing visibility, impact of my work and opening new opportunities (conference invitations, promotion, etc.)."
Dr Alison Hill, University of Exeter, 2022 Excellence in Higher Education Prize
