Long-standing CHM member (School of Life Sciences) has been awarded a Leverhulme Emeritus Fellowship to support his study of the varied life and work of Ida Smedley MacLean (1877-1944). His research will examine her scientific work at the Lister institute, her role in establishing and promoting campaigning women's organizations (the British Federation of University Women and the International Federation of University Women), her pioneering work in breaking into male-dominated scientific bodies (she was the first woman Council Member of the Chemical Society and first woman Chair of the Biochemical Society) and how she managed to balance this busy schedule with an active family and cultural life. The project builds on earlier work carried out in collaboration with CHM on Women Biochemists, 1906-1939

CHM PhD student Katey Logan has won the 2017 Burnby Memorial Bursary. It is awarded annually by the British Society for the History of Pharmacy for original research in this field.

In addition to the £500 prize money, Katey is to present a short paper at the Society’s 50th Anniversary conference in April this year. Her presentation, “Hearing the voices of Boots pharmacists: an investigation of identity 1930-2000”, will draw on her nascent research into Boots the Chemists pharmacists - their unique identity as corporate community pharmacists, working within and outwith the NHS.
