Dr Andrew Jamieson, lecturer in organic chemistry, has been selected to join the Society of Chemical Industry (SCI) Young Chemists' Panel (YCP). The panel, established in 1990, is affiliated with the SCI Fine Chemicals Technical Interest Group and comprises younger members of the chemical community from industry and academia.

YCP's aims and objectives are to provide a forum for discussion and the sharing of information relevant to all aspects of pure and applied synthetic chemistry. In particular, meetings are aimed primarily at less experienced members of the academic and industrial communities through workshop-based residential meetings as well as more traditional one-day conferences.
