Croonian Lecture

Die Croonian Lecture ist eine Auszeichnung und Vorlesung der Royal Society und des Royal College of Physicians. Sie wurde von William Croone (1633–1684) gestiftet, einem Arzt und Mitgründer der Royal Society.

Es gibt Croonian Lectures der Royal Society und des Royal College of Physicians. Bei der Royal Society ist dies eine Auszeichnung in Biologie, die der Bakerian Lecture in den physikalischen Wissenschaften entspricht.

Die Croonian Lecture der Royal Society ist eine mit 10.000 Pfund dotierte Vorlesung.[1] Sie ist mit einer Medaille verbunden.
