Finally got my feedback for my Master's thesis, after 5 months of waiting. Feels good to finally say I obtained an MSc in Chemistry (UCT) with a Distinction. #CumLaude. The comments from the examiners made me smile at all the work I achieved. Feels good being me. 💃👨‍🎓

Ex-citation...will certainly raise their numbers.

Here it is!

Lindau, here we come! 10 young scientists from South Africa are on their way to the 71st Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting dedicated to Chemistry from 26 June to 1 July 2022 in Lindau, Germany. #LiNO22

I'm having a great time, networked with some wonderful young scientists from Canada, Pakistan, Egypt, Sweden, Australia, Japan and the USA. This is a really a brilliant platform, thank you so much - Shepherd Siangwata #LINO22 #ASSAf

One of our young scientists giving wise words. AcademyofScienceSA Himla Soodyall Penny Mathumba Saurabh Sinha Fellow Dr. O.M.

If at every career transition you find yourself wondering “am I really ready for this?” then there is a good chance that you are. If you know enough to know how the new position will challenge you and how much you’ll have to grow, then you are likely in the right place.

Great to have the opportunity for the group to get together to chat about our various projects in Sustainable Chemistry themes here at USW yesturday; Fab group photo; and to welcome new joiner Shepherd. Thanks 2 @neilgibson2010 #CO2 #H2storage #industrychallenges #catalysis #NMR
