GBBO finalist and chemist Dr. Josh Smalley on the headline live edible chemistry demo at Chemuk 2025
Asynt is delighted to announce a unique and inspiring live demo at this year's highly anticipated Chemuk exhibition, taking place at the NEC in Birmingham on 21-22 May 2025. Visitors standing at H102 on day two will be treated to a special “edible chemistry” demo presented by Dr. Josh Smalley, chemist, science communicator and finalist on the Great British Bake Off.
Dr. Based at the University of Leicester, Josh is the founder of the Science Kitchen – an innovative initiative that combines his expertise in chemistry with a passion for baking. Known for his ability to engage both young people and adults with the wonders of chemistry in everyday life, he brings a new perspective to the chemistry community through his lively and accessible approach.
In collaboration with Asynt, a leading provider of sustainable laboratory solutions, Dr. Josh brings chemistry to life with a living demo that explores the delicious chemistry behind some beautiful chocolate creations. This interactive session will explore reactions, transformations and principles in the kitchen - and show how chemistry plays an important role far beyond the laboratory.
We are incredibly proud to be working with Josh, both his work in the science kitchen and with Asynt at Chemuk 2025.”
Martyn Fordham, Managing Director, Asynt
"His creativity and passion for science and communication fits perfectly with our own mission to make chemistry more engaging, sustainable and accessible. We can't wait to share this exciting experience with visitors to our stand - however, some of the team are unsure about sharing the chocolate creations!"
This lively and educational demo is a must-see for anyone interested in science, baking, or how chemistry shapes the world around us. Asynt cordially invites all participants to stand at H102 to observe this unique fusion of culinary art and chemical science.
Entry to Chemuk is free and registration is now open to all industry professionals and local visitors. With over 400 exhibitors and a packed program of talks, Chemuk 2025 promises to be the UK's premier chemical and chemical processing event.
