We needed to make it a year to remember. I’m delighted to say we rose to the challenge. In a year marked with natural disasters, economic uncertainty and adverse conditions affecting the chemical sciences in ways never seen before, we still led the UK in being perhaps the most active country in the world throughout IYC. Our members did us proud, arranging hundreds of IYC events across the globe. Perhaps most visible was the Global Water Experiment, an international effort to map global water quality using data collected by school pupils. A national media campaign, including an outing on BBC TV’s One Show, led to widespread awareness of the experiment. Dedicated and enthusiastic UK teachers then inspired a sensational number of their pupils to take part, and as a country we contributed more data to the experiment than any other.

  • 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.
