Justus von Liebig, FRS
The date 26 May 1824, when Justus von Liebig was made an ‘extraordinary professor’ of chemistry at the University of Giessen, is for me as momentous an occasion in the history of science as 16 July 1662, when the Charter of Incorporation of the Royal Society passed the Great Seal, making it the official date of that body's foundation. This year marks the two hundredth anniversary of Liebig's birth, and here I describe his long and interdisciplina…

Stop – chemophobia
Chemophobia – the fear of chemistry – is caused by both rational and emotional concepts. Here only the fear which can be explained by reason is considered, namely the evil uses of chemicals as deliberate poisons and the disasters caused by unwanted chemical explosions. The psychology of chemophobia, as well as the love of the 'natural' and the dislike of the 'man made' chemical materials, is explored with reference to Hoffmann. The implacable law…

The Medal of Science A Bridge between Two Cultures
During the last four centuries medals have been struck which commemorate individual scientists and technological masterpieces; in recent years a third category has been added, the abstract art medals of science. These three classes are here reviewed, and it is concluded that the medal is the only art form in which science and technology have found a rich and varied representation. It is the permanence of the medal over centuries which distinguish…

The Recovery of Science in Germany
After the end of World War II, Germany was in ruins and science at a standstill. Since then, roughly the period of one generation, very great efforts have been made in the Federal Republic of Germany – the only part here considered – to regain the eminent position in science which Germany occupied before 1933, the advent of Hitler. Only some of the many factors for a successful recovery could here be considered, and an attempt has been made to ar…

Otto Frisch's Autobiography
The only aspect I can find wrong with this famous scientist's life story is the title he chose for it it should have been 'How much I remembered. Frisch must have been gifted with an extraordinary memory as there are few paragraphs in thi book which do not finish with an anecdotal phrase either human or scientific. Thus, recalling Liverpool during World War II one such sentence reads: 'At other times I practised the piano; some of the lodgers sai…

Water-Colours for Science
Water-colours are amongst the simplest and best tools yet invented by man to give expression to his creative urge. Water, paper and a small box containing a variety of colours are all the essential ingredients to be taken into the desert, to the polar regions, up into a balloon, or down into a cave. Naturally, the result of the finished work will differ, if conceived either as a work of art or as a scientific record; but, after a passage of time,…
The Chosen Few
Few Nobel Laureates and few Fellow of the Royal Society receive the highest honours to which a scientist can a pire: The Order Pour le mérite and the Order of Merit. The first Order, founded in 1842 by the Prussian King Frederick William IV, and the second by the English King Edward VII in 1902, have been awarded to the aristocracy of the arts and of the intellect, and amongst them the greatest scientists of almost a century-and-a- half have take…
