Nessa Carson is a professional synthetic organic chemist working with laboratory automation (robots) to perform high-throughput experimentation in the private sector in south east England.

To complement my organic chemistry experience, I like to get involved with a number of other science-related projects. A computer scientist friend told me that the best way to learn to code was to start by producing a personal website. I then wrote this website SuperScienceGrl as a way to teach myself CSS and JavaScript, and learned to work with Python and R. The site's purpose is as a repository for content I think is useful, mostly to scientists. I keep a database of upcoming conferences in organic chemistry, and a handy chemical vendor search. For fun, you can also check out all the elements I've ever used in my time as a chemist (and make your own interactive checklist) here. I also write poetry.

Selected projects:

• Coding with Python and R in lab and at home to augment and automate tasks
• Wrote this website SuperScienceGrl to learn CSS & JavaScript
• Upcoming conference database in organic chemistry
• Chemical vendor search engine, to find approved vendors of particular chemicals
• Check out all the elements I've used in my time as a chemist, & make your own interactive checklist
• I also write poetry.
