Meet this year’s summer interns, who each completed an eight-week project in a research group, thanks to generous donors Wyn Lewis-Bevan (Churchill 1979), donors to our Chemistry@Cambridge Opportunity Fund, and the EPSRC.
It’s been a year since Dr Ruth Webster and her group came to our department from the University of Bath. Discover Ruth’s mission is to find sustainable catalysts that speed up essential chemical reactions.
