Experts from the University of Reading have provided the spark for a young Slough scientist to win a prestigious chemistry award

Joshua Sauer was awarded the Royal Society of Chemistry Prize at the UK National Science and Engineering Competition in March, for a Nuffield Foundation project he undertook at the university last summer. 

The project, which was on data processing at the molecular level, was conducted under the supervision of Howard Colquhoun and colleagues in the university's department of chemistry.
