Trending Chemistry Expo – Scientific Day Exhibition

Our PHR11 students at the Faculty of Pharmacy, October University for Modern Sciences and Arts (MAS) did an outstanding job showcasing their 3D molecular models and leading in-depth discussions on chirality and the effect of studied functional groups on benzene ring reactivity. It was impressive to see complex organic chemistry concepts transformed into clear, tangible models with accurate structures, bond angles, and atom color codes.

The discussions went beyond the textbook — students confidently explained how substituents influence reactivity, and connected it back to the real-world products we see trending online. Their ability to break down the chemistry behind weight-loss drugs, skincare actives, and supplements made the science accessible and relevant to everyone in the room.

We also evaluated the awareness videos submitted by the students, and certificates were awarded to the creators of the best videos for their creativity and clarity in communicating chemistry and health risks to the public.

A huge thank you to all the students for their creativity, preparation, and critical thinking, and to everyone who attended. Events like this are exactly what “science meets creativity” looks like in action.

Proud of our young scientists for busting myths and raising awareness with evidence-based chemistry!
