Diane was the key note speaker at the Joint Pharmaceutical Analysis Group Career’s Symposium at the Royal Society of Chemistry’s (RSC) Burlington House and gave a fascinating talk on her unique professional background entitled ‘From Scilly all the way to the RSC’. The feedback from the audience was excellent and it was especially inspirational to the students and Early Career Scientists. JPAG is an excellent not-for-profit group jointly sponsored by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society and the RSC back in the 1960s to forward the interests of Pharmaceutical Analysts and promote quality control.
