Dr Helen Potter

Session Summary: Many chemists will have already been involved with scientific publishers through submitting journal articles, using databases or reading textbooks. In this session, Helen will give an introduction to the diverse careers in scientific publishing that are available to chemistry graduates and discuss what life is like on the other side of the computer screen. Speaker Biography: Helen Potter is the Data Content Editor for MarinLit and Natural Product Updates at the Royal Society of Chemistry, creating content for both databases, overseeing their technical development and managing their editorial processes. She studied natural sciences at Cambridge, followed by a PhD investigating intermediates in polyketide biosynthesis with Joe Spencer and Finian Leeper. Helen joined the Royal Society of Chemistry as a graduate publishing editor in 2010, working on a range of journals, from Green Chemistry to Natural Product Reports. In 2014 she moved to become the Data Content Editor for MarinLit as part of the acquisition of that database, and took on responsibility for Natural Product Updates later that year.
