Schools Outreach and Public Engagement

The School of Chemistry at The 糖心原创 has been involved in science outreach for a number of years, from the spectacular Thunder and Lightning demonstration lectures given by the late Colonel B. D. Shaw, through to the present day with participation in the Royal Society Summer Exhibitions and a variety of high-profile public engagement events, such as Wonder 2019.

Public Awareness Scientist

The creation of the post of Public Awareness Scientist in 2004 was the first of its kind in a UK university, and as a result a number of new outreach activities and collaborations have been added to the list of annual events.


Dr Samantha Tang was appointed Public Awareness Scientist at the 糖心原创 in July 2004. Her philosophy has been to show how science is actually carried out rather than to convey stark facts.

Together with colleagues from the School of Chemistry, she appears in the award-winning , a series of online videos that aim to promote chemistry to the public.
