Shire and the RSC are working together to reward excellence in chemistry post 16.  

This year six lucky students who achieve the highest marks in their A-level and Scottish Highers will get the chance to win an all expenses paid trip to Boston, USA, in December. 

The prize includes all flights, three nights accommodation, a visit to Shire Human Genetic Therapies (HGT) Site, a visit and tour around the MIT and Harvard Campuses and a tour around the city of Boston. 

As Jessica Mann, Senior Vice President of Corporate Communications at Shire, explains: "Working together with the RSC, as part of our overall Corporate Responsibility programme, is an exciting opportunity and Shire is proud to be involved in a campaign to promote careers for chemistry school students and to reward excellence."
