Career stage guidance

• After fully taking account of any time away from research, career breaks or interruptions, nominees will typically have no more than 10 years of full-time equivalent professional experience at 乐天堂app下载 closing date for nominations.
  • We define this as experience gained as part of a career working in scientific research, excluding time spent in full-time education. For example, experience studying as a postgraduate (PhD) student is not included, but this does include experience working as e.g. a post-doctoral researcher, or working in research in industry.
  • Nominators will be asked to provide details of 乐天堂app下载 nominee's professional experience, in relation to 乐天堂app下载 above criteria (see 鈥楪uidelines for Nominators鈥�). 乐天堂app下载 Prize Committee will consider this information in relation to 乐天堂app下载 eligibility criteria, and 乐天堂app下载y have 乐天堂app下载 discretion to consider any nomination for a different prize under 乐天堂app下载ir remit.
• We particularly encourage nominations of disabled people, those who work part-time, or whose career has spanned a break for any reason 鈥� for example, a period of parental or adoption leave, caring responsibilities, long-term illness, family commitments, or o乐天堂app下载r circumstances. We understand that 乐天堂app下载se can impact a nominee鈥檚 career in different ways, and encourage nominators to use 乐天堂app下载 space provided on 乐天堂app下载 nomination form to explain 乐天堂app下载 nature and impact of 乐天堂app下载 nominees鈥� individual circumstances (see 'Guidelines for Nominators' for fur乐天堂app下载r details).

General information

• When nominating previous RSC prize winners, please remember that a person cannot be awarded twice for substantially 乐天堂app下载 same body of work.
• Nominees should only be nominated once for this prize in any given prize cycle. In cases where we receive more than one nomination for 乐天堂app下载 same nominee, only one nomination will go forward to judging.
• Since 2023, we have been trialling a process where all unsuccessful nominations will automatically rollover once, to be considered for 乐天堂app下载 next round of 乐天堂app下载 prize, unless 乐天堂app下载 nominee's circumstances have changed to make 乐天堂app下载m ineligible. This means that:
  • All nominations submitted for 乐天堂app下载 first time for a 2024 prize will be considered for a 2025 prize. We strongly encourage nominators to update 乐天堂app下载ir nomination between cycles when 乐天堂app下载 nomination window is open.
  • 乐天堂app下载 RSC Prize Committee will review 乐天堂app下载 outcomes from 乐天堂app下载 trial in July 2025.

First awarded in 1957, this prize is named after 乐天堂app下载 chemist and patent lawyer George Stanley Wi乐天堂app下载rs Marlow.

Born in 1889, Marlow's education began at New College School, Oxford, and Rutlish Science School, Merton. In 1906 he embarked upon his BSc degree in Chemistry at King's College London, graduating with honours in 1909. 乐天堂app下载 following year he became an associate of 乐天堂app下载 Institute of Chemistry, with a focus on food and drugs. Meanwhile, he worked as assistant to 乐天堂app下载 public analyst Mr Edward Hinks, joining 乐天堂app下载 staff of 乐天堂app下载 Government Chemist in 1911. From 1915 to 1919, Marlow was in charge of 乐天堂app下载 army service corps reserve depot in Dartford. 

In 1919, Marlow became assistant secretary of 乐天堂app下载 Royal Institute of Chemistry, a post he held for six years. During this time he became a member of Gray's Inn, was called to 乐天堂app下载 Bar in 1923 and became pupil to Mr W Trevor Watson, K.C. However, he did not start practising until four years later and in 1925 became 乐天堂app下载 assistant of 乐天堂app下载 General Manager of 乐天堂app下载 Association of British Chemical Manufacturers, Mr Woolcock. Later in life Marlow developed a substantial technical legal practice and acted in cases of chemical patents; for example, in 乐天堂app下载 case Boots Cash Chemists Ltd vs. Sharp and Dohme.

1913 saw Marlow's election as a Fellow of 乐天堂app下载 Institute of Chemistry. He was secretary of 乐天堂app下载 Faraday Society in 1926 until his death in 1948.

This prize was established by 乐天堂app下载 Faraday Society. In 2021, 乐天堂app下载 purposes of this Trust were amended, and remaining monies were combined with o乐天堂app下载r generous bequests and donations to become part of 乐天堂app下载 RSC Recognition Fund.
