Let’s clap our (sanitised) hands for scientists at the forefront of the battle against COVID-19. From the many universities and businesses who dropped everything to produce hand sanitiser, to the researchers making giant leaps in diagnostics like lateral flow tests to track infections. And let's not forget the world's shot in the arm: vaccine development!
While scientists the world over have been all hands to the pump in the fight against COVID-19, at the Royal Society of Chemistry we have been connecting experts, supporting teachers, guiding policy while celebrating and sharing all the amazing scientific advances that have been made.
Help us in this aim by downloading and sharing our infographics which show the timeline of Chemistry Vs COVID.

I’m showing my #Gratitude for all the scientists at the frontline of the fight against #COVID. Scientists first shared the virus’ genetic sequence on 10/01/2020 – 20 days before the outbreak was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern #Gratitude

What’s on our statue?
Hand sanitiser
Early on in the pandemic it was not know how the virus spreads, and businesses and universities dropped everything to produce the huge quantities of hand sanitiser needed to minimise risks.
Diagnostics
Perhaps most familiar to you as the lateral flow tests you can use to test at home, the leaps researchers made in diagnosing the virus have been essential to tracking the virus and managing the pandemic.
Vaccine
Developing vaccines fast has been integral to saving lives worldwide. The vaccines you can currently get have different technologies behind them – from RNA to viral vectors – but they all help your body to remember the virus so it can fight it off.
Glow-in-the-dark paint
A lovely bit of chemistry! Visit our statue after dark and shine your phone torch on it – some of the paint is made of chemicals that absorb the light and then re-emit it as a different wavelength, making it glow in the dark.
Stories of Gratitude
Visitors to Gratitude will be able to listen to real-life stories and poems about key workers.
