Lab Innovations has launched free online advance registration for all visitors. Returning to the NEC, Birmingham, on 30–31 October, Lab Innovations enables laboratory professionals across all sectors to source new products, network with peers and earn CPD points in the free-to-attend conference programme.
Celebrating the International Year of The Periodic Table, The Royal Society of Chemistry returns with its own dedicated theatre hosting two exciting keynotes and leading CPD-accredited content. Speakers focus on elements of the periodic table, so visitors can learn how to recycle elements efficiently and discover more sustainable alternatives to elements commonly used in the laboratory. This year’s keynote speakers will be physicist, presenter and stand-up comedian Helen Arney, and synthetic inorganic chemist and presenter Andrea Sella.
Appearing on TV, radio and in theatres across the world with her unique science-infused comedy, Helen Arney is renowned for her witty comedy songs, explaining physics while riding a rollercoaster and singing the periodic table. Andrea Sella, teacher of chemistry and presenter of chemistry on stage, radio and television, focuses on materials and inorganic chemistry selection. He will demonstrate why scientists should stop using mercury in laboratory equipment, and the available alternatives.
