“The threat of poisoning has kept many a husband loyal”
You may not be aware of the fact that right now you are involved in a chemical romance. Stop what you are doing for a moment and take a look around. Everything you come in contact with is a chemical. The keyboard you are sat in front of is a polymer, the clothes you are wearing are dyed with chemicals, the coffee or tea you may be drinking contains caffeine. Most of us benefit greatly from our chemical romance. There are others however who are not so lucky. Their chemical romance ends in injury and even their ultimate demise.
Would you know if someone was trying to poison you?
It has been said that poisoning is a dying art…Laura H Robinson Email: toxicologyconsulting@gmail.com
"Laura Robinson, in her professional role as a Toxicologist, came to our Chanctonbury WI Science Group Meeting in April and gave a fascinating talk titled "Poisons - A Chemical Romance". We very much enjoyed her talk because though it encompassed the wide definition of 'poisons' , Laura's theatrical sense of humour lightened the subject of infamous poisoners, particularly in the Victorian era." Marita Watteau "Laura Robinson brought to me clarity, truth , light and knowledge at a different level. Very positive experience." Ekaterina Gaffney. "As a Barrister, with extensive experience of expert witnesses in many fields, I can recommend Laura Robinson as accessible, personable, and able to explain extremely complex issues with ease and clarity. An excellent choice for toxicological advice or testimony.” James Kirby "I've known Laura for years as a colleague in the chemical industry - A very nice person, easy to talk to and a good listener, industrious and very, very keen on occupational safety in relation to chemicals. A good one to trust assessments of chemicals to!” Chris Braun, Senior toxicologist, AkzoNobel "Laura is the consummate professional in her field, employing her substantial knowledge of chemical issues and global standards to assist companies with successfully managing their diverse regulatory issues." Michael S. Wenk M.Sc., MBA - Global Regulatory Affairs Technical Leader, (USA) "With her easy going and approachable manner, Laura makes an invaluable contribution to any team working with occupational health issues. Her deep knowledge together with her broad experience is an asset in any toxicological or OSHA project."

Laura Robinson is the author of two industry standard text books on toxicology, she is a renowned speaker and expert witness for toxicology and poisoning cases. A humanist and advocate against the use of animals in toxicological research, Laura can be as controversial as she can be sassy. As scathing of the animal rights movement as she is of the research facilities, Laura has been heard to proclaim, "Fanatics make terrible spokes-people and probably do as much harm to the liberty of species as the scientists who pour the acid." 
She is only 5`4" tall but as her mother once said, "“Poison comes in small bottles.” Mrs Robinson, Snr, is probably quite right about that. So please don't take your eyes off her and keep smiling sweetly. Everything will be fine.
