Dorothy Hodgkin meeting

The Dorothy Hodgkin Meeting

There will be a one day meeting at the Royal Society, London on Friday 12th July 1996 to mark the publication by the Indian Academy of Sciences of the collected works of Dorothy Hodgkin . It is opportune now to hold a meeting in which we shall review the current progress in areas of research which Dorothy started over 60 years ago as well as looking into the future of this science. The meeting has been generously sponsored by the British Crystallographic Association, the Royal Society and some pharmaceutical companies who have long been associated with Dorothy's work and its direct impact in their fields; Glaxo-Wellcome, Lilly, Roche, Novo Nordisk, Smith Kline Beecham. and Zeneca . The Royal Society library will display some of Dorothy's papers during the day of the meeting.
