Lieutenant colonel Brian Duncan Shaw CBE MM TD was a chemistry lecturer at the University of Nottingham,^[3] widely known for his demonstrations on explosives.^[4]

Early life

Shaw was born in Ikeston, Derbyshire, the fourth and youngest child of Samuel Shaw and Lydia Emma Shaw, his brothers and sisters being named Lydia Emma, Mabel and Clarence Gordon. His father was a brick manufacturer and his mother had been working as a teacher^[5].

In May 1916, he married to his first wife, Margaret Elsie Wheldon^[6]. After her death, in 1990, he would marry to Alice Maud on 5 June of the same year, who, in turn, would die in 1998, a year before Shaw passed away.

He fought on the battles of Somme, Cambrai and Passchendaele, during the First World War.

He published eleven articles on pyridines, almost all of them in the Journal of the Chemical Society.^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10]^[11]^[12]

A blue plaque was installed on 16 November 2012 at his home.^[13]^[14] As a part of the Periodic table of videos, Prof. Martyn Poliakoff and Brady Haran filmed the event.^[15]

The Shaw Medal

In 1988, the University of Nottingham created a medal in his honour called the Shaw Medal. BD Shaw himself was the first recipient of this prize^[3].
