Editorial - A time to celebrate

By Karen J Ogilvie2012-11-01T00:00:00

There has been a lot to celebrate in the world of chemistry education over the last few weeks. And plenty more to celebrate soon

There has been a lot to celebrate in the world of chemistry education over the last few weeks. Our students returned from the 2012 Olympiad in Washington DC with four medals. You can find out more about their fantastic achievement and how to enter students for next year's competition on p22.

Chemistry takes centre stage at this year's Royal Institution's annual Christmas Lectures. These will be presented from that iconic lecture theatre by chemistry's very own Peter Wothers, who, by coincidence, is also chair of the International Olympiad steering committee. I'm sure this will prove to be a very exciting lecture series and I shall definitely be watching.

Thanks for using Education in Chemistry. You can view one Education in Chemistry article per month as a visitor.

A photograph of a teacher standing in a white lab coat, speaking with a class of children in a laboratory, is superimposed on a colourful background. Text reads "Teach Chemistry means support for classroom and staff room".
