Emrys - The Chemical Accessibility Advocate

On the first podcast of 2022, Cameron & Hallam are joined by Emrys Travis.Emrys is a Disability & Accessibility Specialist for the Royal Society of Chemistry. In the pod, we discuss breaking down the barriers for entry to chemistry, and to understanding how the world of chemistry can and should be inclusive of everyone. Hallam then shares a True Periodic Fable detailing the life of Kathleen Lonsdale, who pioneered the chemist working from home, but more importantly, who actually discovered using X-Ray Diffraction, that Benzene was flat - Hallam tries and fails to show off his chemistry knowledge when describing electrons in benzene.
