Chemistry underpins many advances in technology, industry and medicine. It is a broad scientific discipline that impacts on, and is influenced by, other scientific fields. Research in this field occurs in areas as diverse as the design of new drugs and tools for biomedicine, the development of new functional materials, novel approaches to quantum computing and investigating how to communicate chemistry to students and non-scientists. In this unit you will attend cutting-edge research seminars covering the wide breadth of the discipline and learn about state-of-the art research in different sub-discipline areas. You will learn how to critically analyse research presentations and apply this skill to assist you in presenting your own research to a scientific audience. By doing this unit you will develop an understanding of the principles and concepts from a range of chemistry subdiscipline areas. You will develop an ability to analyse and critique what makes a good research presentation. This will assist you in the development and communication of your own research ideas.
