Gold Awards at the RSC Chemistry Olympiad

Christ College sixth formers Andi Tao and Lukas Fischer-Wulf are celebrating a gold medal haul at the Chemistry Olympiad.

Head of Chemistry Dr Paul Smith said: "With only the best candidates in the country even entering the Olympiad, to secure 2 Golds is a superb achievement. We have had individual Golds in the past but this is a first ‘double' at Christ College."

Head of Christ College Mrs Emma Taylor said: "Together with Sean Mui who recently obtained a Gold award in the Biology Olympiad, it proves we have some exceptionally talented young scientists at Christ College. The teaching of science at Christ College has always been a key strength, but the recent investment in new science laboratories is already paying dividends."

Organised by the Royal Society of Chemistry, approximately 2400 candidates entered this year's Olympiad with Gold Awards given to the top 200 students.
