Incredibly proud of the sixth form chemists who took part in the #UK_IChO Chemistry Olympiad @ThePerseSchool, who have achieved an incredible 51 bronze, 36 silver and 18 gold awards. Particular congratulations to Hari who has been selected for round 2!
BREAKING NEWS:
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2022 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless “for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.”
In thermodynamics, the triple point of a substance is the temperature and pressure at which the three phases (gas, liquid, and solid) of that substance coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium. This is water boiling at 0ºC (with ice) using a vacuum pump: https://t.co/rsKhn0Iet6
Super proud of our L6th after some outstanding #C3L6 results:
19 copper awards
18 silver awards
11 gold awards
4 roentgenium awards
Well done to everyone who took part!

7G had a great time creating their rainbow fish aquarium with red cabbage indicator, lemon juice and bicarb. Not sure the taste test of neutralisation of bicarb outside the lab was quite so well received! @ThePerseSchool

It was fantastic to hear about the career pathways of Prof. Jacquie Robson, Prof. Sophia Yaliraki, Prof. Susan Perkin and Prof. Nazira Karodia MBE
I remain in awe of the work that our technicians do here everyday. We are incredibly lucky to have 3 amazing techs who not only facilitate all of our practical work but who are also wonderful people. It's a privilege to work with them #TECHOGNITION
At their simplest, pancakes use a batter of flour, eggs and milk, but in this video we're exploring the science behind fluffy US-style pancakes, which need a thicker batter – and bubbles. Follow these simple tips to perfect your pancake-day treat. https://t.co/rN4EYBGF8K
Anyone for #Tea? Y11 Art Students @ThePerseSchool explore toning #cyanotypes using tannins found in tea this afternoon. First they used a bleach bath using Sodium Carbonate @PerseChemistry
"After all, science is essentially international, and it is only through lack of a historical sense that national qualities have been attributed to it."
- Marie Skłodowska Curie, the first person to be awarded two Nobel Prizes, the 1903 Physics Prize and 1911 Chemistry Prize.

Lise Meitner was born 140 years ago today! She should have shared the 1944 #chemnobel with Otto Hahn, but was overlooked #ChemEquality
