New accolade for Rhodes professor
December 14, 2020NEWS
A young girl’s dream from the rural areas of Lesotho was simply to have shoes on her feet and food on the table. She spent most of her first eight years alternating between primary school and tending sheep, never imagining that one day she would be recognised by an international scientific organisation.
Rhodes University’s Director of the DST Institute for Nanotechnology Innovation, Distinguished Professor Tebello Nyokong, has been named an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Each year, the Board of Trustees of the Royal Society of Chemistry celebrates excellence in the chemical sciences by inviting a few eminent individuals to become an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (HonFRSC). Around 100 recipients have thus far been admitted in recognition of their unique achievements ranging from public engagement to distinction in research.
