Celebrating an SCI stalwart
Dinner for Lampitt Medal
winner Prof Alan Heaton
London, 22 September 2004
 An
evening of fine food and company will be enjoyed by Prof Alan
Heaton and friends at the Lampitt Medal Dinner on 22 September 2004.
The celebration, taking place at SCI’s London Headquarters,
is to be given in thanks for Prof Heaton’s 30 years of
enthusiastic and loyal work at SCI. The event is always a
pleasant occasion, and all are welcome to attend.
The medal honours Members who have offered their time, leadership,
vision and enthusiasm to SCI. It is named after Leslie Herbert
Lampitt (1887–1957), a brewing specialist, who created
what in many ways were the world’s first specialist food
laboratories. He also gave an enormous amount of time to developing
SCI and held many offices in the Society, including the World
Presidency from 1946–1948.
A true Society stalwart, Prof Heaton is a Member of Council
and has chaired the Liverpool Section twice. He has been an
active Member of the Awards and Section Support Committees
and has chaired selection panels for SCI scholarships and
travel bursaries. Prof Heaton has helped implement the Distinguished
Service Award scheme and made numerous contributions to the
Liverpool Section.
Professor of Chemical Education at Liverpool John Moores
University, Prof Heaton’s teaching areas encompass organic
and industrial chemistry and transferable skills. His main
research is in the preparation and reactivity of compounds
used as potential drugs and pesticides.
Prof Heaton has directed the SCI Liverpool Schools/Industry
project for local school children, helping to reverse the
decline of young people taking science, engineering and technology
courses at universities. He has published books on industrial
chemistry and contributes to the Royal Society of Chemistry.
But it’s not all work. Prof Heaton is a keen sportsman,
competing and winning cups in competitive crown green bowling,
playing golf and swimming.
