Welcome to the New Scientist Focus Group

We are a group committed to providing opportunities for students, undergraduates and postgraduates and newly appointed scientist to become involved in developing their skills and experience in Pharmaceutical Sciences.

What We Do

The New Scientist Focus Group aims to achieve the following:

  • Provide advice to new scientists on the potential career paths and development opportunities available to them within the pharmaceutical sciences.
  • Demonstrate the diversity of pharmaceutical sciences and highlight the opportunities available to scientists from a wide range of backgrounds and disciplines.
  • Promote interaction and collaboration between new and eminent scientists.
  • To attract new scientists to the APS by engaging and educating them about the aims and benefits of the APS and encourage them to become members of the APS.

why you should get involved?

We are always keen to hear from pharmaceutical scientists who would be willing to be involved in the NSFG. You can volunteer to
join the committee or simply offer to help out at an individual event. We’d be happy to hear from you with ideas of future events
you’d like us to organise.
