Networking at the Chemical Science Symposium One of the primary aims of the Chemical Science symposia series is to act as a platform to bring researchers together with the intention of facilitating the sharing of knowledge and experience and to provide opportunities for delegates to both strengthen existing connections and forge new ones. We strongly encourage you to connect throughout the symposium. In addition to general networking opportunities, we have also created some optional discussion sessions and breakout rooms where you can meet and interact with our speakers, editors and members of RSC staff. Meet our speakers – a chance for general networking with our speakers Meet our Chemical Science Editors – a chance for networking with some of the Chemical Science Editorial Board and team in the Editorial Office. This would be a great opportunity to talk with our team about what they look for in a paper, the peer review process or to discuss publishing in general. RSC Digital Futures – In September 2019, we held our first Strategic Advisory Forum, inviting 14 experts from different scientific fields and sectors to discuss the long-term promise of and concerns about the use of data and digital technologies for scientific discovery. The output of this Forum was published earlier this year as our Digital Futures Report. We are looking to continue this discussion with you at the Chemical Science symposium. A breakout room will be open throughout the meeting where we are asking you to share your thoughts on the tools and techniques that can be used within the chemical sciences to solve new problems and what the future challenges may be. Your comments will be summarised during the closing remarks and will feature in a blog post following the meeting. We will also hold a chat-based discussion session, hosted by our Co-Chairs Andrew Cooper and Alan Aspuru- Guzik where we invite you to share your experiences. RSC Technology: Author Experience Project Get to know more about our exclusive products and services. Discover more about how our manuscript tracker and submission system can make the publication process smoother for you. A breakout room will be open throughout the meeting where you can watch a short presentation on these author tools. We also ask delegates to give feedback on these tools via some interactive polls. Some of the team behind the development of these products and services – our User Experience Researcher Sara Braganca User Experience Designer Ian Parry - will also host a discussion session during the symposium. Discover more about how the RSC develops the solutions that are available to you and let us know about any ideas of feedback you may have for us. We really want to hear your thoughts on your experiences with the publishing process. Finally, help shape new and exclusive RSC products and services. Join our one-to-one sessions and speak to Sara and Ian about our new ideas. You will be able to be one of the first ones to see new features and comment on them.

Cronin, J. Cole & Y. Jung 12:00-15:45 Poster Session 2 Introduction Dear Colleagues, A warm welcome to our Chemical Science Symposium for 2020, the second in our symposia series. Under the banner of our flagship journal, Chemical Science, we are shining a spotlight on cutting-edge chemistry research and giving it the sort of attention that drives scientific progress. While the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has moved this symposium from our historical home in London, Burlington House, to a virtual setting, our connection with the Chemical Science community remains as strong as always. As with the previous iteration of this symposium, we encourage strong participation from early career scientists and future leaders, who will be the future of this discipline. So we are dedicating significant time in the programme to our poster and networking breaks. The Chemical Science Symposium provides a way for our wider community to regularly stay in touch with the journal editors and fellow researchers across a broad range of topics in the chemical sciences. It is also a great way of staying up to date with what’s happening in the journal, from technical developments to the most exciting research coming your way in the future, and we’ll providing more details through breakout sessions in the networking breaks. The focus of this Symposium is the acceleration of chemistry through automation and machine learning. This topic was the focus of the Royal Society of Chemistry’s first Strategic Advisory Forum, held in September 2019, the results of which were recently published as our Digital Futures report (http://rsc.li/digital-futures). Advances in artificial intelligence, robotics and automation technologies, machine learning and modelling and simulation are revolutionising scientific discoveries, allowing scientists to advance their research at an unprecedented rate. Using these techniques and methods, researchers are able to gather results quicker and analyse complex data more efficiently. Each of the speakers in this symposium is an international expert in their area of research, with the topics covered demonstrating the applicability of this topic to a diverse range of problems in the chemical sciences. The speakers will describe the application of machine learning and automation to materials design and the discovery of new materials and drugs, the role of self-driving laboratories for molecular synthesis and the utilisation of these techniques within industry. We hope that the lectures and poster presentations will stimulate the exchange of ideas and experiences between all participants, setting a strong platform for discussion. As such we strongly encourage delegates to raise questions to our speakers and poster presenters during the discussion sessions and throughout our dedicated poster and networking breaks as well. We’d like to thank each of the speakers, poster presenters and participants for all their contributions. Again welcome to what promises to be an exciting symposium. We hope that this event will act as a springboard for future activities and that it will help in fostering new research collaborations.

  • The Royal Society of Chemistry Presidents 1841 T0 2021
    The Presidents of the Chemical Society & Royal Society of Chemistry (1841–2024) Contents Introduction 04 Chemical Society Presidents (1841–1980) 07 Royal Society of Chemistry Presidents (1980–2024) 34 Researching Past Presidents 45 Presidents by Date 47 Cover images (left to right): Professor Thomas Graham; Sir Ewart Ray Herbert Jones; Professor Lesley Yellowlees; The President’s Badge of Office Introduction On Tuesday 23 February 1841, a meeting was convened by Robert Warington that resolved to form a society of members interested in the advancement of chemistry. On 30 March, the 77 men who’d already leant their support met at what would be the Chemical Society’s first official meeting; at that meeting, Thomas Graham was unanimously elected to be the Society’s first president. The other main decision made at the 30 March meeting was on the system by which the Chemical Society would be organised: “That the ordinary members shall elect out of their own body, by ballot, a President, four Vice-Presidents, a Treasurer, two Secretaries, and a Council of twelve, four of Introduction whom may be non-resident, by whom the business of the Society shall be conducted.” At the first Annual General Meeting the following year, in March 1842, the Bye Laws were formally enshrined, and the ‘Duty of the President’ was stated: “To preside at all Meetings of the Society and Council. To take the Chair at all ordinary Meetings of the Society, at eight o’clock precisely, and to regulate the order of the proceedings. A Member shall not be eligible as President of the Society for more than two years in succession, but shall be re-eligible after the lapse of one year.” Little has changed in the way presidents are elected; they still have to be a member of the Society and are elected by other members.

  • 2018 Xingda Lecture Schedule
    兴大报告年报 Xingda Lecture Yearbook Preface At the turning point to reform and boost its research and education system in 1995, College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering (CCME) at Peking University, China, proposed to set up a science forum to foster idea refreshments and brainstorming between its faculty and outside scientists, aiming at broadening its collaborations with institutions of chemical sciences and educations all over the world. Against all odds, CCME and Beijing Xinda Scientific Systems hit it off instantly to jointly establish the Xingda Lecture Series. Thanks to its enthusiasm for science, Beijing Xinda Scientific Systems has been financially supporting this lecture series ever since then. From the very beginning, Prof. Chunhua Yan had been serving as the organizer of this lecture series until 2015 after which Prof. Kai Wu was named as the successor. The Xingda Lecture Series is held on every Friday throughout the academic year. Up to the time this booklet was edited, about 500 scientists had been invited to give talks at the Xingda Lecture Series which nearly cover all the research areas in chemistry and related disciplines. Needless to say, this lecture series won’t be able to last without great contribution from these scientists. With the great success of the Xingda Lecture series that has already benefited the faculty and students at CCME and the science communities inside and outside PKU as well, CCME in 2015 made the decision to upgrade this forum to the Xingda Lectureship that would be held by invited renowned and distinguished scientists from all over the world. This is also echoing the mission of Peking University in the new century which is to advance sciences and cultivate next-generation scientists for the betterment of humanity.

  • Sir David and Lady Clary Chemistry Fund Sir David and Lady Clary Chemistry Fund
    Sir David and Lady Clary Chemistry Fund Sir David and Lady Clary Chemistry Fund Chemistry at Magdalen and the University of Oxford Chemistry has a long history at the University of Oxford. The Department of Chemistry is the largest chemistry department in the UK and one of the largest in the western world. Oxford chemists have won at least nine Nobel prizes including Magdalen Fellow Sir Robert Robinson (Chemistry, 1947, for investigations of plant products), Frederic Soddy (Physics, 1921, for his discovery of isotopes), and Dorothy Hodgkin (Chemistry, 1964, for the x-ray structure of penicillin). One of the earliest notable Magdalen chemists was Charles Daubeny (1795–1867). After studying at Magdalen under John Kidd, Daubeny simultaneously held Chairs in Chemistry, Botany, and Geology. However, interest in the sciences can be traced back to the Magdalen’s founder, William of Waynflete, and it was in his honour that the highly distinguished Waynflete Professorships (in Metaphysical Philosophy, Chemistry, Physiology and Pure Mathematics) were established in 1857. The Waynflete Professor of Chemistry has been the University’s most distinguished Chair in Organic Chemistry ever since, and holders have included Professors Sir Benjamin Brodie, William Odling, William Henry Perkin, Sir Robert Robinson (Nobel Laureate, 1947), Sir Jack Baldwin and the current incumbent, Stephen G Davies. The present day Of the 28 Colleges offering Chemistry, Magdalen is one of only five fortunate enough to have a full complement of three Tutorial Fellows in Chemistry: Professors Tim Donohoe (Organic), Andrew Weller (In- organic) and Stuart Mackenzie (Physical and Theoretical Chemistry). Each of these also runs an internation- ally–leading research group in the Department of Chemistry.
