I then became a Senior Teaching Laboratories Technician in 2011. Whilst working in the department I have been awarded with the PSS, Library and Cultural Institutions Distinguished Achievement Award in 2014, and received \u2018Highly Commended\u2019 in The Higher Education Academy\u2019s Physical Sciences Technician of the Year Competition. In 2018, I became the Teaching Laboratories Manager, managing a team of six other technicians based in the two Chemistry Teaching Laboratories.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_900\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_900\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uomchemistryblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2020\/06\/Happy-Mike.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uomchemistryblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2020\/06\/Happy-Mike.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"528\" height=\"351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uomchemistryblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2020\/06\/Happy-Mike.jpg 528w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uomchemistryblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2020\/06\/Happy-Mike-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_900\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mike (left) at work in the teaching labs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Can you tell us a bit more about the role you and your team play in the Department of Chemistry?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Chemistry Undergraduate Teaching Laboratories are home to around 600 students each year, spread across two large laboratories. Each day, between 220 and 160 students attend the lab to follow either a taught lab class or third year research project.\u00a0 Practical chemistry is one of the most important parts of our courses, my team make sure the students have everything they need to complete their practical work and maintain all our instrumentation.<\/p>\n<p>When we have finished our own teaching, we open the lab up to around 300 school children a year, who participate in the department\u2019s outreach programs.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_491\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_491\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uomchemistryblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2019\/06\/P1050417-edit.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-uom-post-size wp-image-491\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uomchemistryblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2019\/06\/P1050417-edit-768x494.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"494\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_491\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Summer outreach activities taking place in the labs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This year, our routine was disrupted due to the Coronavirus pandemic. We were looking forward to the last week of labs with our third year; it\u2019s normally a very happy and emotional moment where we wish those graduating good luck. Two days before this was due to happen we informed that due to the Coronavirus pandemic face-to-face teaching was ceasing.\u00a0 The team set about cleaning and switching off all the instruments; making plans to fill the NMRs; making the labs safe.<\/p>\n<p>Now I am mainly working from home, planning for next year and considering various scenarios &#8211; depending on when we can start face-to-face practical teaching. I have no doubt that my team of technicians will rise to the challenge and find a way through it to provide a world class environment for our students to work in.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is your favourite part of the job?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The interaction with our students is my favourite part of my job and the reason I have stayed in the department for so long!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What do you like most about the University?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I can honestly say that I have never had two days the same working at the university, it\u2019s not just working in my lab I enjoy, but the countless opportunities I have been given to work on other projects, like the university\u2019s apprenticeship scheme.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What do you like most about the rest of the city?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Manchester is such a vibrant city to work in and you meet people from many different places and walks of life.
