On a personal note.

David Rees is standing for RSC President, I've known David for many years and I can't think of a better person to lead the RSC in these uncertain times. A really top class scientist with an excellent career in Drug Discovery, whilst maintaining contacts with academic research and holding important roles within the RSC.
