Specialism: High throughput
Membership classification: AMRSC
With an innate interest in chemistry that only grew throughout her school years, Nessa Carson joined the Royal Society of Chemistry very early on in her life.
“I joined the RSC in my last year of high school, and to be honest, and I think that’s what set me on the path to doing a chemistry degree,” says Nessa. “Membership was very cheap, and it included not only materials designed for high school students, but also Chemistry World magazine. While it was a very intense read for a school-aged pupil, I read every issue from cover to cover to get familiar with the language and figure out what everything was.”
