      I’m not sure that there are really any ‘famous’ chemists, but there are people who are well known for their work on particular topics. I do know a few haha

      mmm not yet! 😀 I know few famous chemists but they do not really know me personally. For example, the Nobel prize in chemistry was given to John B Goodenough who worked in Oxford.

      I don’t think so, no. I don’t often go to conferences, which is generally where we find famous chemists in the wild!

      Nope! I’ve been in the same room as Frances Arnold though- she won the Nobel Prize in chemistry last year. Her research is seriously cool; she directs evolution in enzymes to make them better
