Carl Wagner Carl Wilhelm Wagner (May 25, 1901 – December 10, 1977) was a German Physical chemist. He is best known for his pioneering work on Solid-state chemistry , where his work on oxidation rate theory, counter diffusion of ions and defect chemistry led to a better understanding of how reactions take place at the atomic level. His life and achievements were honoured in a Solid State Ionics symposium commemorating his 100th birthday in 2001, where he was described as the Father of Solid State Chemistry.

Lumleian Lectures The Lumleian Lectures are a series of annual lectures started in 1582 by the Royal College of Physicians of London and currently run by the Lumleian Trust. The name commemorates John Lumley, 1st Baron Lumley, who with Richard Caldwell of the College endowed the lectures, initially confined to surgery, but now on general medicine. William Harvey did not announce his work on the circulation of the blood in the Lumleian Lecture for 1616 although he had some partial notes on the heart and blood which led to the discovery of the circulation ten years later. By that time ambitious plans for a full anatomy course based on weekly lectures had been scaled back to a lecture three times a year.

Francis Humphreys Storer Francis ("Frank") Humphreys Storer (March 27, 1832 – July 30, 1914) was an American chemist known for his work in agricultural chemistry. He studied under Josiah Parsons Cooke at the Lawrence Scientific School (now known as the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences). He later was professor of general and industrial chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1865 to 1870, and dean of the Bussey Institution at Harvard University from 1870 to 1907. At MIT he co-authored with Charles W. Eliot the first Laboratory Manual of Inorganic Chemistry written in the English language. Storer's father was David H. Storer, a prominent physician and naturalist, and his older brother was Horatio R. Storer, a gynecologist and anti-abortion activist. He was good friends Robert H. Richards, a mining engineer, and Charles Eliot, who would become president of Harvard University, and married his sister Catherine Eliot in 1871.

Boris Nikolsky Boris Petrovich Nikolsky (Russian: Бори́с Петро́вич Нико́льский ; 14 October [O.S. 1 October] 1900 – 4 January 1990) was a Russian (Soviet) physical chemist and radiochemist, academician of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, and professor of Saint Petersburg (then Leningrad) State University. Boris Nikolsky was a 1925 graduate of Leningrad State University. In the 1930s he studied the ion exchange processes between aqueous solutions and solids (soils, ionites, glasses). During that time Nikolsky developed the theory of ion exchange in glass electrodes. He derived equations that describe properties of glass electrodes as well as other types of ion-selective electrodes depending on chemical structure and multi-component composition of glass, concurrent interference of ions (see Nikolsky-Eisenman equation and Nikolsky-Shultz-Eisenman thermodynamic ion-exchange theory of GE) and so on. Boris Nikolsky also actively participated in the Soviet nuclear program. In 1952-1974 he was the senior scientist and the chairman of scientific committee at the Soviet nuclear fuel reprocessing plant Mayak, where he worked on the technology of processing and refining of plutonium. In 1961-1963 he was the chairman of the chemistry department at Leningrad State University.

Franz Hein Franz Hein was born in Grötzingen (Baden), Germany. His high school years were spent in Leipzig, as well as, his college years at the University of Leipzig. He completed his Ph.D. in 1917 on optical studies of bismuth and triphenylmethane derivatives. Hein made "Assistant" at the University and in 1920 "Oberassistent". He continued working on his "Habilitation" becoming a professor in 1923. With the completion of his "Habilitation", Hein went to work on organometallic system electrochemistry.

Satoyasu Iimori Satoyasu Iimori (19 October 1885 – 13 October 1982) was a Japanese analytical chemist, and the pioneer of radiochemistry. He was the honorary research member of the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN) and also the honorary member of the Chemical Society of Japan as well as the Society of the Analytical Chemistry of Japan. He is so called “the father of radiochemistry in Japan”, as his establishment in the study of radiochemistry which was not developed at that time in Japan and his contribution for the study. After his retirement as the researcher he was interested in creation of artificial gemstones.

Boyle Lectures The Boyle Lectures were named after Robert Boyle, son of Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork, and a prominent natural philosopher of the 17th century. Under the terms of his will Boyle endowed a series of lectures or sermons (originally eight each year) which were to serve as a public forum in which to consider the relationship between Christianity and the new natural philosophy (what we today term 'science') then emerging in European society.

Celedonio Calatayud Celedonio Calatayud Costa (] ) October 29, 1880 in Pedreguer – January 24, 1931 in Madrid) was a Spanish scientist and radiologist, remembered for his achievements on radiology, radiotherapy, and electrology. He pioneered the use of radiology and electrology in Europe for both diagnostics and therapeutical purposes, introducing radiotherapy in Spain in 1906. He founded the Spanish Medical Electrology and Radiology Society (Sociedad Española de Radiología y Electrología Médicas), promoted the doctoral chair of Electro-radiology and was elected as the first professor to chair it at the Universidad Central (later renamed Complutense University of Madrid). He also was the driving force behind and creator of the First National Medical Congress that took place in Madrid in 1919, precursor of the use of diathermy in gynecologic therapy, founder of the "Spanish Journal of Medical Electrology and Radiology" ("Revista Española de Radiología y Electrología Médicas") and "Tribuna Médica", as well as author of many papers on electrodiagnosis, electrotherapy, roentgenology, and radiotherapy.
