We want to have discussions about all things chemistry, whether that's the world of sustainability and cleaner living, to careers in the chemical industry.Joining us on the podcast are champions of industry who may be very junior in their careers and wanting to create change from within, to senior careerists who've got a wealth of experience. We want our guests to come on and give their side of the chemical story. We want to use this space to inform and inspire.
