  • The Prof's Nyholm Lecture has been posted on our behind-the-scenes channel nottinghamscience

  • Congratulations to the Professor and his team. I will definitely use your site for trying to make my students excited about chemistry. Keep up the tremendous work all of you. I hope to make a trip to Nottingham (like a pilgrimage) sometime in my life.
