Auckland Professor Dame Margaret Brimble has more accolades than many of us have had hot dinners, that's an exaggeration of course but goodness me the list is long.
She's been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society London, awarded the Royal Society London Davy Medal, and had awards from the American Chemical Society and other highly esteemed places.
Now Dame Margaret has been named an Honorary Fellow by the Royal Society of Chemistry - that's the organisation's highest accolade.
To put that in perspective, of the seven people named Honorary Fellows, three were Nobel Prize winners. Dame Margaret chats to Jesse.
