Celebrating diversity in the chemical sciences

"175 Faces of Chemistry showcases the wonderful diversity of our community in the form of 175 individual and inspirational stories. 

Each story features someone involved in the chemical sciences who represents diversity in the broadest sense; someone who is a role model, champion and ambassador for an inclusive culture and diverse future generation of chemists.

175 Faces of Chemistry was compiled during the 175 weeks leading up to our 175th anniversary in February 2016."
