While nationally, application figures for university chemistry courses are up by 3% over last year, undergraduate applications to Sheffield have rocketed up by over 25%. The rise in number probably reflects the £16 million (and rising) recently invested in the department and our traditional position as one the UK’s leading chemistry departments. The investments are not just in chemistry though: our students will also soon have access to a state-of-the- art learning and study environment. Opening in early 2007, the University Information Commons is a £23 million combination of library, study space, and IT centre dedicated to undergraduate students’ study needs. How the new University Information Commons will look, opening in early 2007 Disposable Fashion?

Following the massive success of such books as ‘Does Anything Eat Wasps,’ Radio Sheffield hosts a once monthly ‘question time’ session, inviting listeners to ring in with their scientific queries, the questions are then answered by Simon and a panel of two fellow experts. This popular slot on the Rony Robinson show has unofficially become known as ‘Ask the Boffins.’ As Simon explains; “we receive loads of interest from the public and get a wide range of questions from How do greenhouse gases work? to Why do sprouts give you wind?” Senior Lecturer Simon Jones (left) Rony Robinson (next to Simon) and fellow ‘Boffins.’ Reactiv8 Simon Jones is also involved with the Reactiv8 educational project. Through a collaboration involving the Department of Chemistry, EPSRC, and Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council, the Reactiv8 project aims to excite and interest young people in science and in particular chemistry. Over 120 local school pupils between the ages of 14 and 18 have been working on chemistry-based projects, which range from developing their own medicines, to studying how heat changes enzymes in a pineapple. As the picture show, members of the Reactiv8 team also delivered some illuminating lectures! Simon is now working with the Royal Society of Chemistry to turn the DVD developed for Reactiv8 into a resource that will be sent to ALL schools in the country. 3 Chemistry Newsletter Contact: Admissions Office Email: [email protected] Chem Department of Chemistry Brook Hill Sheffield S3 7HF More Honours Yet More Honours Following the award of an OBE in March 2006 to Prof. And it is not just former members of the department Tony Ryan our current ICI Professor of Physical who have been picking up gongs.

Barnett SUPA, Department of Physics, University of Strathclyde 4 February 2008 The James Scott Prize Lectureship was established in 1918 in memory of James Scott, a farmer at East Pittendreich, near Brechin, by the Trustees of his Bequest. This prize is awarded quadrennially for a lecture on the fundamental concepts of Natural Philosophy. This year’s award goes to Professor Stephen Barnett FRS FRSE, who is based in the Department of Physics at the University of Strathclyde. Professor Barnett is one of the world’s most eminent scientists in the field of Quantum Optics. A previous winner of the Institute of Physics’ Maxwell Medal, he is perhaps best known for his co-discovery of the Barnett-Pegg phase operator. This established the first formally correct approach for handling both angles and phase as descriptions within quantum systems. Still within quantum physics, Professor Barnett holds a number of patents relating to techniques for writing unbreakable codes. For a subject that is potentially beyond most people’s understanding, Professor Barnett is well known for presenting the counter-commonsense implications of quantum mechanics in an accessible and entertaining way, stripping the subject of its supporting mathematics and leaving only the essence of pure ideas.

    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.

This article, written by some of the participants in that symposium, highlights the contributions that Jim Feast has made in the areas of ring-opening metathesis polymerisation, electroactive polymers and dendrimers and hyperbranched polymers. In particular, the ‘Durham route’ polyacetylene, prepared from a precursor polymer itself prepared by ROMP, paved the way for the work in the field of conducting and semi-conducting organic polymeric materials by Richard Friend and others.

    Curiosity-driven ‘Blue Sky’ Research: a threatened vital acvity? Sir John Cadogan Inaugural President of the Learned Society of Wales ‘One somemes finds what one is not looking for.’ Although this is a paper commissioned by the Learned Society of Wales (Appendix 1), the threat addressed spans the enre UK scienfic scene. In Wales, while Educaon is devolved, support of research through the Research Councils is not. This paper addresses funding in the laer category on the opmisc assumpon that the vital QR (Quality-Related) funding from the University Funding Councils via the educaon budget line will be protected. Disaster would otherwise ensue. However, the same arguments apply to both categories of funding. Important comments from 41 Fellows of the Royal Society (Appendix 2) and from Professor John Tucker, General Secretary of the Learned Society of Wales are gratefully acknowledged.

    Chemistry for the Next Decade and Beyond INTERNATIONAL PERCEPTIONS OF THE UK CHEMISTRY RESEARCH BASE Medical Research Council Chemistry for the Next Decade and Beyond International Review of UK Chemistry Research 19 - 24 April 2009 “If the victory at Waterloo, which set the stage for Britain’s pre-eminence in the century that followed, was ‘won on the playing fields of Eton’ as the Duke of Wellington famously observed, it may be equally true to say that the contest for pre-eminence in the 21st century will be won on the campuses of the world’s research universities.” “Research Universities: Their Value to Society Extends Well Beyond Research.” Robert M. Berdahl, President, American Association of Universities, April 2009 Foreword Foreword This is an exciting time for Engineering and the Physical Sciences, when the UK seeks to extend both its economic and social impact and international reputation for cutting edge fundamental research. This is the second International Review of Chemistry and reflects the important contribution of this area to the UK. This contribution enables progress by bringing a fundamental knowledge and understanding of chemistry which drives advances in many areas. Chemistry research underpins a wide range of activities that benefit society including discoveries that lead to new industries, materials and technologies as well as helping to conquer diseases. Chemistry will be indispensable in attacking the challenges of climate change, energy and sustainability. The preparation for this review has been ongoing for over a year and we would like to thank our colleagues on the Steering Committee, which included representation of the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Institution of Chemical Engineers, the Chemistry Innovation Knowledge Transfer Network (CI-KTN), the Biochemical Society, the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry and the Institute of Physics.
