Remembering the Duke of Edinburgh
17 April 2021
Ahead of the funeral service for HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, we ve taken a look through our archives for his visits over the years – with our patron, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and on his own.
We were honoured to welcome Prince Philip as the first Honorary Fellow of one of our founding societies, the Royal Institute of Chemistry, in 1952.
As covered at the time in our member magazine Chemistry in Britain, on 17 February 1969, Prince Philip and the Queen made their first visit to the Chemical Society to attend a reception celebrating the Society s recent move into the section of Burlington House in which our London team is still based.

Antibiotic properties of amber

Chemicals in fossilised Baltic amber resin have antibiotic properties, and may be useful for treating antibiotic resistance.
Amber has long been used medicinally in Baltic nations. Traditionally, crushed amber is added to elixirs and ointments, and babies are given amber necklaces to relieve teething pain.
“Amber … has been used medicinally for centuries due to its immune-boosting, wound-healing, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-infective, antifungal and anticancer properties,” write Elizabeth Ambrose and Connor McDermott, from the University of Minnesota, US.
“Despite its well-established use in folk medicine, a comprehensive study of the bioactive constituents of Baltic amber has yet to be conducted to explain its therapeutic effects.”
