He was appointed Director of the Royal Institution in 1966, awarded a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1967, and was the only Director of the Royal Institution to later become President of the Royal Society (1985-1990). Porter had a marvellous gift for communicating his infectious enthusiasm for science, and as President of the Royal Society, he worked hard to improve the status of science, and employed his communication skills ably in the defence of British science under attack f 606 $aChemists$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChemists 676 $a540.92 701 $aPhillips$b D$g(David),$f1939-$0994790 701 $aBarber$b J$g(James),$f1940-$0896069 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451280303321 996 $aThe life and scientific legacy of George Porter$92278584 997 $aUNINA
