  • A sounding board for future chemistry: Sound Chemistry retrospect

    A sounding board for future chemistry: Sound Chemistry retrospect

    Earlier this month I organised my first research workshop. Why did it seem like a good idea; what were the main ideas behind the workshop; and how did it go? Let me share the answers to these questions while my memory is still fresh. Fellow scientist will be familiar with the perks of our job,…
