Dalton Medal

The Dalton Medal of the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society is a distinction only rarely bestowed by the Society, and is the Society’s highest award. It is given to those who have made a distinguished contribution to science. Since 1898 the medal has only been awarded on 15 occasions. All recipients have been Fellows of the Royal Society and many have been Nobel Prize winners. Several have Manchester and University of Manchester/Owens College connections with the Departments of Physics and Astronomy, Chemistry and Engineering. Only one woman, so far, has been awarded this medal.
