Robert Mokaya has been voted the next president-elect of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC).
Mokaya, who will be the first Black chemical scientist in the role, will take up his post in July 2026 once incoming president Annette Doherty completes her term.
‘I am really humbled and also honoured at the same time,’ said Mokaya, who is already an appointed trustee and chair of the RSC Inclusion and Diversity Committee.
