In 2017, SHAC’s journal Ambix will be eighty years old. To mark this anniversary and the contributions made by one of SHAC’s longest standing members, Bill Brock, SHAC will be holding a special meeting on Saturday 20 May 2017 at the Royal Institution to explore old and new themes in the history of chemistry. Since Ambix was launched in May 1937, sixty-three volumes have been published, and Bill was editor of the journal from 1968 to 1983.

The registration form, including the programme, can be found here. The registration fee (including lunch and refreshments) is £15 for SHAC and RSC Historical Group Members, otherwise £20.

Leicester University issued a press release about the meeting, see here.
