Abstract Employing a light-hearted anecdotal approach, the development of chemistry will be illustrated using some of the over 3,000 postage stamps that have been issued by more than 200 countries that relate to this topic. Along with the many famous individuals whose likenesses are found on stamps, other scienfitic subjects that have been identified include glassware, sumbols, elements, equations, apparatus, formulas and chemical processes. Colorful examples of each of these various subjects will be provided using a selection of some 80 stamps. About the Speaker David G. Hendrikcker, Professor of Chemistry at Ohio Unviersity, was born in Aurora, Illinois. He joined the faculty of Ohio University in 1965.
