Analytical research forum 2024 (ARF24)

18 June 2024, London, United Kingdom


Introduction
The Analytical research forum (ARF) provides an opportunity for students and early career researchers from analytical science communities to present their work alongside high profile scientists. The event will showcase cutting-edge analytical chemistry and applications to stimulate new research, collaboration and engagement between academia and industry.

Join us in London in June 2024.  Our one day format includes keynotes and invited talks, panel discussions plus additional oral contributions selected by the Scientific Committee from the submitted abstracts.
Speakers
Kemi Oloyede, Imperial College London, United Kingdom

Kemi Oloyede (they/them) is a third year PhD student in Clinical Medicine Research (Public Health) in the Emerging Chemical Contaminants team at Imperial College London. They work as a freelance illustrator, having illustrated front covers for science research journals such as Analytical Chemistry and Environmental Science & Technology.


Claire White, Selden Research Ltd., United Kingdom

Ms Claire White is an Analytical Chemist, Product Development Chemist and GLP Study Director at Selden Research Ltd, a company that manufactures cleaning chemicals for the professional sector. Claire developed her first analytical method at the age of 16 during a Nuffield Research Placement at Bristol Myers Squibb and then continued to work each summer in the QC department. In 2008, she graduated with a Clinical Science degree and began full time work as a lab technician in the QC department at Selden Research. After particularly enjoying participating in research and development, she was promoted to Development Chemist developing a wide array of formulations including washing up detergent, laundry detergent, floor cleaners and bathroom cleaners. During this time, Claire became a member of the RSC and gained Registered Scientist accreditation. In 2018, she began work on producing a GLP accredited analytical laboratory for Selden Research which was subsequently approved by the MHRA in 2022. Claire achieved the title of Chartered Chemist in 2023 in and is an elected member of the Royal Society of Chemistry Analytical Science Community Council. Claire is a keen STEM Ambassador and has mentored several students through the Nuffield Research Placement programme.

Bursaries

Grants for Carers

Grants for carers have been introduced following the Royal Society of Chemistry Breaking the barriers report where 78% of chemists working in UK academia felt that managing parenting and/or caring responsibilities has an impact on women’s retention and progression. This fund is not limited to women scientists and welcomes applications from anyone with caring responsibilities. These grants have been supported by The Royal Society of Chemistry’s Chemists’ Community Fund.

You can apply for up to a maximum of £1000/year to assist with additional financial costs that you incur for care usually provided by you whilst you attend a chemistry related meeting, conference or workshop or a professional development event.

Caring responsibilities are wide and varied, and so each application will be individually assessed, examples of applications that we will consider include:
  • paying for extra home help or nursing care for a dependent whilst you will not be present
  • additional medical/respite care for a dependent whilst you will not be present
  • travel expenses for a relative to travel with you to care for dependents whilst you attend a meeting or event
  • paying for extended hours with a care worker/childminder/play scheme to cover time when you will arrive home later than normal.
You are eligible to apply if: 
  • you are a chemist
  • you will incur additional caring expenses whilst attending a chemistry-related meeting, conference, event or workshop or a professional development event
  • you will use these funds to cover the cost of care that you usually provide 
  • you are based in the UK or Ireland or if not, you will normally have held three years RSC membership (past or current).
