About me

I am the (retired) chemistry advisor for CLEAPSS in the United Kingdom. I acquired degrees in chemistry at the University of Sheffield. I then taught students for 20 years, 16 years as Head of Department at Norwich School in the UK, and finally 28 years at CLEAPSS  However, I cannot simply leave chemistry and education so I now work part time for CLEAPSS solving all manner of technical and teaching problems. I was honoured to be made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and to go around the world with my microchemistry.
In 2021, I was proclaimed the Royal Society of Chemistry Prize winner for Excellence in Secondary and Further Education or significant and sustained contributions to the development and promotion of safe practical resources for teachers worldwide, especially in the field of microscale chemistry.
