At the RACI, we are passionate about opening doors for young
people to see themselves in chemistry. Chemistry is the science of
transformation – of elements combining in new ways to create
something greater – and we believe the same is true when
diverse voices and perspectives come together. Through this
initiative, we want to show that there is no single path to success
in STEM. In these pages, you will read about how Susanna Cramb
is using statistics to improve people’s health, how Alise Fox is using
maths to support sustainable fishing, and how Katrina Wruck is
using chemistry to protect the environment.
Whether you envision yourself in the classroom like Natasha
Ward, in the lab like Jiao Jiao Li, or out in the community like Verity
Normington, know that there are countless options open to you.
To every girl reading this: your ideas matter, your voice matters,
and your future in STEM is yours to claim. May these stories
inspire you to be bold, ask questions, and believe that you
belong in any space you choose to enter.

President, Royal Australian Chemical Institute
