Hi there! My name is Zac and I work at a printed circuit board manufacturer just outside of Canberra. I am the sole chemist here so that means understanding the chemical happenings of all our processes, researching new ideas, and analysing all sorts of acids, bases, metals, and other weird solutions that help us with our production. We put a whole bunch of stuff on our finished products including Copper and Nickel, as well as precious metals like Silver, Palladium, and 24K Gold.

About the BEAKER STREET ROVING SCIENTIST PROGRAM
Each August, hundreds of Roving Scientists descend upon Hobart, filling up pubs and chatting to strangers as part of Beaker Street Festival. Discover a new world down the lens of microscope, and joining the least-boring bar conversations you’ve ever heard and these free (the chats – not the drinks) events.
For Scientists, Beaker Street’s Roving Scientist Program offers an excellent outreach, professional development, and networking opportunity. It’s the nerdiest and funnest way to share your research with the public, expand your network, and be inspired by leaders in all sectors of science and science communication.
