Congratulations to Professor Richard Robson

Professor Richard Robson may have pioneered an entirely new field of chemistry and become a Nobel Prize in Chemistry winner, but he’s also known as a long-standing lecturer at our School of Chemistry. Over decades, he has taught generations of students, supervised PhD candidates, mentored emerging researchers and worked alongside our science community while pursuing the work that led to this extraordinary honour. Here is just a small selection of messages from #UniMelb colleagues congratulating Prof Robson on his once-in-a-lifetime achievement, shared from Melbourne to Stockholm. You can watch Prof Robson receive his award on 10 December, 4pm Swedish time (11 December, 2am Melbourne time) via the Nobel Prize website → unimelb.me/48L9ojt
