Annabel Brunt
Annabel has been working with the Department of Chemistry’s Educational Outreach Team on a project celebrating the Oxford Botanic Gardens’ 400th anniversary. The project, Chemistry in the Garden, is a virtual tour of the Botanic Gardens, with links and resources related to a selection of plants in the collection, their history, applications, chemistry, and relevant departmental research. Annabel has worked closely with Karl Harrison, IT Coordinator and Training Officer, on the 360 degree photographic images of the garden, as well as behind-the-scenes technology to support the creation of the resource. The aim of the project is to engage members of the public with the interesting and intriguing chemistry of plants and how this relates to past and modern medical and chemical research.
