60: Join the Club
This episode concerns chemical societies: their history and value. We hear of the first scientific society in Rome, the slow spread of scientific societies, and the controversy over what was the first chemical society: in America, Scotland, or England? We learn of the first permanent chemical society, the Chemical Society of London, and its descendants, which now span the world. We hear of the reasons chemists have banded together to create such societies.
