Quelltext der Seite Bakerian Lecture

Die '''Bakerian Lecture''' ist ein Preis und eine damit verbundene Vorlesung der [[Royal Society]] in Physik, Chemie, Astronomie, Geowissenschaften oder Mathematik (''Physical Sciences''). Sie ist mit 1000 Pfund dotiert und mit einer Medaille verbunden.

Die Vorlesung und der Preis wurde 1775 von [[Henry Baker (Universalgelehrter)|Henry Baker]] gestiftet. Er spendete 100 Pfund für eine Vorlesung eines ihrer Mitglieder über einen von der Royal Society vorgeschlagenen Bereich der Naturgeschichte oder experimentellen Wissenschaft.<ref>''on such part of natural history or experimental philosophy, at such time and in such manner as the President and Council of the Society for the time being shall please to order and appoint''</ref>

Heute wird der Preisträger vom Rat der Royal Society gewählt. Er muss aus dem [[Commonwealth]] oder Irland kommen oder dort mindestens drei Jahre gearbeitet haben. Die Preisträger können erst nach fünf Jahren wieder nominiert werden.

Die Vorlesung wird in den ''Proceedings der Royal Society'' (oder deren ''[[Philosophical Transactions]]'') veröffentlicht.
