The Ullyot Public Affairs Lecture is an annual public lecture which focuses on contributions of the sciences (in particular chemistry and biology) to the public welfare.
The lecture is presented jointly by the Science History Institute, the American Chemical Society (ACS), the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of the Sciences.
The lecture was endowed in 1990 by Glenn Edgar Ullyot, a research chemist at Smith, Kline & French, and his wife Barbara Hodsdon Ullyot.{{cite news |title=573rd BOARD OF DIRECTORS' MEETING Thursday June 16th, 2005 |url=http://philadelphia.sites.acs.org/catalyst/2005/Nov_05_Catalyst.pdf |accessdate=17 January 2019 |work=The Catalyst |issue=9|volume=90 |date=November 2003|pages=136, 139}}{{cite news |title=Barbara Ullyot Notice |url=https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/washingtonpost/obituary.aspx?n=barbara-ullyot&pid=128994948 |accessdate=16 January 2019 |newspaper=The Washington Post |publisher=Legacy.com |date=June 28, 2009}} Since 1997, the lecture has been presented at the Science History Institute (formerly the Chemical Heritage Foundation) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.{{cite web|title=Ullyot Public Affairs Lecture|url=https://www.sciencehistory.org/ullyot-public-affairs-lecture|publisher=Science History Institute|accessdate=16 January 2019|date=2016-05-31}}
