MP admires Challenging Plants
The RSC has just hosted a visit by Jim Paice, MP for South East Cambridgeshire and Minister of State for Agriculture and Food. He has met with our colleagues in the Science Team to discuss the importance of agricultural science and how the UK can be a leader in soil science.
When he came to speak to the Education Team, we gave him a whistle stop tour of Learn Chemistry and in particular to our
Faces of Chemistry: Crop Protection videos and the newly launched
Challenging Plants resources. He admired the website and the resources and agreed that they would raise awareness of the application of the science involved in optimising crops growth, as well as lawns at home!
These resources are all part of the RSC roadmap to show the importance of how chemistry touches every aspect of your life!
