Ullyot Public Affairs Lecture
The Ullyot Public Affairs Lecture emphasizes to the general public the positive role that chemistry and related sciences play in our lives. Lectures are held annually and are open to the public. Lecturers are distinguished in their fields, nationally recognized, and able to communicate to a nonscientific audience. The 2009 lecturer was Joseph M. DeSimone, Chancellor’s Eminent Professor of
Chemistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and William
R. Kenan Jr. Professor of Chemical Engineering at North Carolina State
University.
Franklin-Lavoisier Prize
The Franklin-Lavoisier Prize is presented every two years to recognize exceptionally meritorious efforts in the preservation or promotion of the entwined scientific heritage of France and the United States. The inaugural prize was awarded on 28 January 2009 to Robin Clark, Sir William Ramsay Professor Emeritus of Chemistry and former Dean of Science at University College London.
