Meeting the Royal Society of Chemistry Membership Team Representative 💭As my study program, theIntensive Chemistry Major curriculum, has been accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry– one of the world's leading chemistry communities. Membership withRSCwill further improve the visibility and recognition of the Chemistry programme and improve students’ opportunities to pursue higher education and obtain employment both locally and overseas. This is a good chance for HKU chemistry students to learn more about the benefits thatRSCcan provide.I do encourage all chemistry students to become RSC members to gain many benefits e.g. display our commitment and get where we need to be, easily access dedicated resources to enhance our knowledge and make informed career choices, meet the right people at the right time and many more.Learn more: https://members.rsc.org/and remember to use code CATALYST100 to remove the cost of the year.#royalsocietyofchemistry #rsc #chemistry #hku #sciencemasterclass

Every year, our Green Chemistry Commitment (GCC) community, which now includes over 140 institutions, reports on the positive impact green chemistry education has on students and institutions. Some key highlights from this year's GCC Annual Impact report include: • The majority of GCC Signers integrate green chemistry into teaching lab courses, reportedly reducing lab waste as a result. • The majority of GCC Signers also have chemistry student groups that actively conduct community outreach activities, exciting and inspiring youth and communities.Explore the report to learn more about green chemistry at our higher education partner institutions. https://lnkd.in/eExnCdhS#GCCommit #GreenChemistry

Today the AP Chemistry Boot Camp got over, and I would like to wish all students all the best to do well on the big exam. One of the feedbacks received from the boot camp is as follows. Thank you for writing this."I really appreciated the insightful information provided through this boot camp because it helped me develop a better understanding of many of the topics and learn about how to write proper FRQ's. Each class and every assignment helps to prepare me for the exam and I learned some valuable points to take note of when writing the exam such as correctly answering the prompt directly as well as practicing and learning from mistakes made. The resources given were super useful, especially the Big Ideas and Key Concepts Checklist as well as the practice MCQ's in every unit. It helped me focus on understanding each topic in depth and knowing how to answer the questions based on the knowledge of the units. Something that I would want to work more on is being able to apply different units in different problems and knowing when to apply certain information." - Student at Silver Creek High School Feedback on AP Chemistry Boot Camp, April 2023
