The Soddy Memorial at Glasgow was reported in “Unveiling of the Soddy Memorial.” in Chemistry and Industry (8 Nov. 1958). 1462–1464. There is one collection of Soddy’s apparatus and equipment at the Chemistry Department of the University of Glasgow and another at the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory of the University of Oxford. ...
In 1914 Soddy assumed the chair of chemistry at Aberdeen University, Scotland, but his teaching and research were largely interrupted by World War I. In 1919 he was appointed to the Lee Chair of Chemistry at Oxford University, a post he held until his retirement in 1937. In 1921 Soddy received the Nobel Prize in chemistry "for his contributions to ...
By 1904 Soddy was eager to disengage himself from Ramsay whose inaccuracies and speculative enthusiasms were beginning to get a bad name. As we have seen, he was found a place at Glasgow -a city then at the height of its prosperity and a centre of education and industry with which Ramsay had close connections.

An aspiring scientist from an early age, Soddy was encouraged by his influential science master, R. E. ...
Frederick Soddy was awarded the Nobel prize for chemistry for 1921 "for his contributions to our knowledge of the chemistry of radioactive substances, and his investigations into the origin and nature of isotopes". No award had been made in 1921 from those nominated that year; Soddy’s retrospective award was made in 1922 and was proposed by former Nobel laureates, his ...

In 1900 he became a demonstrator in chemistry at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, where he worked with Ernest Rutherford on radioactivity. He and Rutherford realized that the anomalous behaviour of radioactive elements was because they decayed into other elements. This decay also produced alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. When radioactivity was first discovered, no one was sure what the ...
Soddy was born at 5 Bolton Road, Eastbourne, England. He went to school at Eastbourne College, before going on to study at University College of Wales at Aberystwyth and at Merton College, Oxford, where he graduated in 1898 with first class honors in chemistry. He was a researcher at Oxford from 1898 to 1900 ...
"Professor Frederick Soddy states that the Gold Standard monetary system has wrecked a scientific age! ... The world's bankers ... have not been content to take their share of modern wealth production -- great as it has been -- but they have refused to allow the masses of mankind to receive theirs." ...
In 1918 he announced discovery of a stable isotope of Protactinium, working with John Arnold Cranston. This slightly post-dated its discovery by German counterparts; however, it is said their discovery was actually made in 1915 but its announcement was delayed due to Cranston's notes being locked away whilst on active service in the First World War. ...
