UCL Chemistry did extremely well in the UCL One Awards with Liz Read receiving the Ways of Working: Personal Excellence Award, Dr Dewi Lewis being recognised with the Leadership Award for Outstanding Contribution and our Security Officer Saeed Said winning the Outstanding Contribution to Staff Experience award.
Yet again the department had an excellent intake for 2019/20 and ended up recruiting 200 UG students, along with 115 Masters students and 50 PhD/EngD students. This is a superb achievement particularly since many UK univer- sities were still struggling to fill their places on chemistry courses. Some upgrades have been able to be completed including the 3rd floor synthetic laboratories and the Laser Science Centre in the basement of the Christopher Ingold Building.

Physical Chemistry Journal Club
For the least few years we have been running a Physical Chemistry Journal club. The club meets (semi-) weekly, normally in person but now via teams. A vast range of papers are discussed, from gas-phase reaction dynamics, high level calculations, properties of dye solar cells to how to study the behaviour of Polar bears on Svalbard. Practically any topic is open to discussion. The club also creates a friendly environment to discuss and show your results (both good and bad). For more info please contact Mike Parkes ([email protected])
14 UCL Chemistry NEWSLETTER 2020 Societies Societies 2020 UCL Chemistry NEWSLETTER 15 n March 18th the department was closed and everyone moved to remote working. Although the building was largely closed a number of labs remained open. There were a number of Oresearch groups who had access in order for research projects in the Covid-19 area to continue. In addition, we had a team going in to synthesise hand sanitiser, and some instruments remained on, which were necessary for those continuing research and so a number of people had access in order to look after the instruments. Anyone entering during the closure period were provided with special access permission and instructed on safety measures.
We were given the green light to be part of a pilot for the reopening of buildings at UCL and on 15th June the Christopher Ingold Building (CIB) was once again accessible. Re-opening the department had been a challenging and time-consuming process. The process started with meetings (virtual of course!) between departmental representatives (myself, Steve Price and Joe Nolan) and the university Area Facility Managers to discuss operational elements including opening hours and security arrangements, cleaning arrangements and waste collection services, one way systems in the building and signage. To ensure that we could maintain social distancing and keep the occupancy of the building low only experimental researchers were permitted to return. We chose to adopt a two-cohort system where researchers have one week in the lab and one week working at home. This ensured that we did not prioritise projects. I prepared a lengthy document on the new safety practices which was also summarised in a one-page “Code of Conduct” that anyone having to access the building had to agree to adhere to (via an online form).
The week prior to researchers returning all facility managers came into the department and turned any equipment on and got the stores ready. New safety protocols on access to instruments and stores were put in place. I gave safety briefings via MS Teams to different groups prior to anyone returning to the department, which was a really effective way to explain all the new safety procedures. The responsibility for deciding the safe occupancy of labs was passed to relevant supervisors, or groups of supervisors, which has worked well and engaged colleagues with the issues involved in the return.

The expansion Professor leading programme in solid state and materials chemistry, which was Secondly, in a project called NEXGENNA a team led by will cover the calculations envisaged for the FutureCat, strengthened by the successful affiliation with UCL chemistry; while the Professor John Irvine of the University of St Andrews, NEXGENNA, and CatMat projects. Peter Day public programmes included several outstanding Christmas lectures. Peter with contributions from Lancaster University, University retired from the RI in 1998, although he continued a productive research 1938 – 2020 programme in the DFRL and UCL for several years, before becoming a UCL emeritus professor. The department would like to thank the family of Pamela Self, who kindly left a legacy in her will this year. Pamela studied chemistry between 1940 – 1943, at the time when the department evacuated to Aberystwyth. Richard Catlow who was Wolfson Professor at the RI from 1989 – 2006, Director of the DFRL from 1998 – 2006 and Head of UCL Chemistry, 2002-2007, writes “Peter was a major figure who made lasting contributions to materials We were lucky to have been able to find a class photo and her son Prof. Jonathan Slack identified her below, as chemistry. I had known him since I was an undergraduate in Oxford and worked with him throughout his period as shown by the red arrow. Prof. Slack let us know that at the time she was Pamela Gregory, and after graduating, RI Director. It was an exciting time in which the research programme of the DFRL in collaboration with UCL, enjoyed worked as a chemist for May and Baker Ltd and later as a chemistry teacher at the Thame Girls Grammar School great success and international recognition, while the outstanding lectures programmes including discourses, schools and at Queensgate School in London. After retirement Pamela was very active in the Friends of UCL. and Christmas lectures maintained the unique RI style and impact. I also remember well his wife Frances who sadly died a few years ago”.
Frank James, who was Reader in the History of Science at the RI and currently Professor of the History of Science in the UCL Science and Technology Studies Department writes: “Peter was a cultured man who valued evidence in all Pamela Self areas and was always willing to listen. He was thus very supportive of the history of science activities undertaken at the Royal Institution, indeed the first three volumes of Faraday’s correspondence was published during his time.”
Peter wrote an autobiography entitled “On the Cucumber Tree - Scenes from the Life of an Itinerant Jobbing Scien- tist” (Grimsay Press) and more details of his life and work can be found in the links below:
