Francesca Burgoyne takes a look at what the winners of an RSC prize have been up to on their laboratory placements

At The Big Bang in March, two very talented students were awarded the Royal Society of Chemistry Prize in the prestigious National Science and Engineering Competition. Josh Sauer and Emma Sharman won £500 each for their projects on molecular level data processing and improving diabetes treatments respectively, as well as a week’s work experience in a chemistry laboratory.
