Daniell Lecture 2014

22 October 2014, London, United Kingdom


Introduction
We are delighted to announce our annual Daniell Lecture will this year be delivered by Dame Carol Robinson, Research Professor at the Royal Society of Chemistry and Professor of Physical & Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Oxford.

Our Daniell Lectures are delivered by internationally renowned scientists and cover a topic of current interest and excitement. Speakers are chosen not only for their outstanding contribution to modern scientific knowledge, but also for their ability to communicate the essence of their research to a young audience.

Dame Robinson will address Proteins in the gas phase - my flexible friends, to an audience of school children interested in pursuing further study in Chemistry.

The Daniell Lecture is delivered by both the Department of Chemistry at King's, and sponsored by the Chilterns & Middlesex branch of the Royal Society of Chemistry.

John Frederic Daniell was appointed the first Professor of Chemistry. The first chemical laboratory was founded a few years later in 1834. Daniell remained at King's until 1845 and in 1864 the Daniell Scholarship was founded in his honour. Daniell invented the first electrochemical cell, laying down the foundations of the study of electrochemistry and hence influencing the study of Physical Chemistry. Today, the cell named after him, the 'Daniell Cell', can be found in Chemistry text books in schools and colleges the world over.
