photo opportunity 10.30am, Thursday 6 September, Carnelly building, University of Dundee.
School pupils and industry are fusing at the University of Dundee this week to discover how chemistry works and how it is essential to the powerhouse of industry.
Pupils will meet chemists from industries who will demonstrate their experiments and explain how science is integral to their business. The companies will display a variety of interesting and different experiments which will hopefully encourage pupils to think about choosing chemistry as a study and career option.
