“Dr Clemons, the work you do is absolutely amazing! Your passionate lecture about being a nanoscientist was extremely dynamic – it was great to learn about what your job entails. I find it remarkable how you manage being a scientist and a professional hockey player at the same time! I especially enjoyed your analogy about your different hats in life! Thank you so much for the great talk and for showing us how you’ve failed and what you’ve achieved. It was definitely an inspiring lecture. Thanks a lot!” Jemima (Year 11 science student, 2018)
“The lectures were very well received, with students and teachers saying that they thoroughly enjoyed the lecture. Personally I was most impressed with both the quality of your presentation and with the inspirational content.” Russell (High school science teacher, 2018).
