Abstract
Two scientific workers, well known in the fields of scientific history and social technology, have just been awarded two unusual distinctions. Dr. Archibald Clow, of the Department of Chemistry of the University of Aberdeen, has been awarded the Blackwell Prize for a study of chemical contributions to industrial development. Dr. Clow and his wife, Nan L. Clow, have been carrying out research for several years on the contribution of chemistry to human welfare and development in the era of the industrial revolution, and the manuscript of the book in which they have embodied the results of their researches has been judged an outstanding contribution to history by the University of Edinburgh, which has awarded them the senior Hume Brown Prize in Scottish history. Both authors are graduates in arts and science of the University of Aberdeen, and Mrs. Clow particularly is well known for her contribution to the development of the scientific film society movement. Dr. Clow is a member of council of the Scientific Film Association. Dr. Clow is now working with the B.B.C., where he is taking charge of scientific broadcasts in a new programme to be produced in the early autumn.
