An OXFORD chemistry lecturer has been named this year’s Science and Technology Woman of the Future.

Oxford University chemistry lecturer Dr Kylie Vincent, right, received the award, which celebrates the achievements of women under 35, at a ceremony in London on Wednesday. She said: “‘I'm delighted and honoured. It is encouraging because it recognises not only my academic achievements, but also the outreach work I am doing in schools to inspire young people about futures in science.”
