Biography
Dayna is an Aussie with a background in science communication and a PhD in platinum chemistry (for more detail, see http://uk.linkedin.com/in/daynamason). Her relocation to Cardiff means she's lived in four National capitals and she's looking forward to exploring the countryside while meeting everyone involved in chemical sciences in Wales.
If you would like any support or advice on ways to engage students with the chemical sciences, please do get in touch.
