Neil's acceptance speech was exactly what I expected it to be. 😅 But seriously, such recognition from _the_ Royal Society is well and truly earned and I'm glad we get to see it.

Neil is a great guy! No one can obtain liquid oxygen better than this man.

The assistant is usually a thankless job, but it's nice to see excellence rewarded. Congratulations.

If you as an assistant work in a lab where that is a thankless job, change workplace. In all labs I've worked at, the assistants are always the heart of the lab. They've usually been there much longer (researchers come and go), know all the other people in the building, know exactly in which cupboard that one exotic apparatus that no one has used since 1977 is etc. A chemist cannot thank these people enough.

As a chemical lab tech myself, I congratulate Neil for this well deserved honor.

Neil deserves this, the unsung hero behind so many generations of excellent students the Prof has taught, and who has done all the background work to make all the demonstrations a success, and a valuable teaching aide.

What an honour for the Hauksbee Award to receive Neil Barnes as its first recipient!

About time Neil was recognized for something we all knew.

Hurray for Neil! I teared up a little watching this

Watching Neil work has been a very enjoyable privilege.

YAY!!! Neil is the kind of guy who gets things done and helps everyone. He makes almost every demonstration possible on this channel and has aided in my understanding of chemistry. There are many like Neil around the world, behind the scenes, making the world a better place through science! Congrats!

Congratulations Neil! That's great to see technicians getting recognized for their hard work, as they're often out of sight and out of mind.

Congratulations Neil! Keep inspiring the future generations of Scientists!

Well deserved. The viewers are unanimous in this. Edit: You look great in the suit!

Finally, the Stig of Periodic Videos received the reward he deserved.

Recognition of Excellence sometimes takes its old sweet time. Its about time . Congrats Neil.

Oh my gosh amazing! The man really deserved it! So happy seeing this! Amazing to recognise the technicians! Congrats Neil!

Greatest cross-over episode of all time. Congratulations to Neil!

An inaugural award, that is amazing! And I can't think of anyone who deserves it better.

Which is why the award is so important. There probably are more deserving recipients - but (almost) nobody even knows they exist. It's going to be interesting to learn about other recipients in years to come, as the light is shone on the technicians and engineers that are the foundation on which almost every scientific discovery is built.

He is an inspiration to Lab Techs all over the globe. What a wonderful acknowledgement of his work, it is well deserved.

Haha, I was hoping for a speech, but as always, Neil's actions speak louder than words! Congrats Neil! You could tell he really appreciated it, and he deserves it every bit!

I think its great that lab technicians get a chance to be recognized, congratulations Neil

Glad to see Periodic Videos-beloved Neil recognised, as well as the whole field of science assistant and technicians getting a bit of spotlight.

Congratulations on the award Neil.

Congratulations Neil, you earned it.

Congratulations Neil, well deserved recognition

Congratulations Neil, a well deserved award for all your hard work. 👏👏👏👏

I must say, Neil scrubs up well :) A well deserved medal. Congratulations!!

Congratulations Neil. Well deserved for everything you’ve done behind the scenes.

Congratulations, Neil!!! You have a ton of fans out here! Thanks for all the great technician stuff!!

Well deserved, congrats Neil !

This is a genuine joy. Both for Neil and for those that will folliw him.

Neil is awesome, this is a most deserving award, congratulations

Respect to Neil for helping this channel thrive in all the work he does

Congrats!!

This made me immensely happy. Well done and well deserved, Neil!

Congratulations Neil, well deserved 👏

Congratulations Neil, a very well deserved award

As a chemistry lab technician for over 30 years at University of Sydney let me offer my heartiest congratulations to Neil for this honour. I am now retired so Neil's long tenure is in no danger of being eclipsed by me. We get to actually DO all the fun stuff that brings people into Chemistry. However the greatest joy of our work are the minds we help to mature in their professional capacity. I am sure Neil can look back on many he has assisted/guided over the years. I know that I can.

Love seeing Neil for years on these videos, and love seeing technicians like him being recognized!

Most heartfelt congratulations Neil! I have “known” you ever since we were able to view the BBC in The Netherlands. The Christmas lectures were always a favourite in the late 80s, early 90s. I can’t remember any of the professors, but I recall you always being there. And then seeing you again when I discovered this wonderful YT channel. Thank you.

Congratulations Neil. Well deserved.

Millions of fans, not thousands. Congratulations, Neil!

Congratulations Neil! Well deserved. Technicians help turn ideas into reality.

Well done Neil, your medal is thoroughly deserved. It is fantastic to see somebody who acts behind the scenes get recognised at last. Plus, being the first recipient means that your name will be at the top of the table forever!

We’ll done Neil! Good to see service and dedication rewarded!

Thank you sir for your contribution and helping students of chemistry

Many congratulations Neil. Thoroughly deserved.

Hurray for Neil! An award well deserved for outstanding work.

It's great to see the techs getting some love

Wasn't expecting to have such an emotional reaction to watching this. Fantastic for Neil and the work he has performed over the decades to be recognised in this way.

Brilliant! Very well deserved for someone who is such a credit to the field. Congratulations!

Congratulations Mr. Barnes, Well deserved! 3 Cheers for our brother in science!

Congratulations to Neil! I also think Brady needs some official recognition from the Royal Society. Aside from the varied and excellent channels he runs, he has catapulted so many others into the spotlight, which has resulted in increased awareness of their work, precipitated new avenues of success, and have presumably led to people like Neil receiving recognition that they might not have otherwise received. Brady, all his guests, and his channels are KZread gems. (This is not meant to steal glory from Neil in his video.)

Very much deserved, although it should be said that Neil has already had more than average valorisation through being featured in so many videos. Many other experimentalists and lab support staff go insufficiently recognized! But to be clear, very much deserved and best wishes to the chemistry department of Nottingham university and Neil in particular!

in the name of the legions of people who do actual hands on work without ever getting any recognition at all, congratulations, Neil, and thank you!

Awesome award and well deserved! Thank you for being there for us and giving us so much knowledge!

Congratulations Neil. You supported me from 1986 to 1990 during my graduate studies.

Congratulations to Neil, getting recognition for a very important job.

Congrats, Neil! I remember your laugh when The Professor inhaled helium. This part of YT is really genuine and inspirational.

Well deserved and glad to see technicians getting recognition

As a scientist in the corporate space I love to see this recognition. It takes a village to innovate and dedicated techs keep the wheels greased. ❤

It's wonderful that Neil is being recognized for all his behind-the-scenes hard work that only millions of people on KZread get to see. 😉

Congratulations Neil. I remember our chief technician at welcome research back in the eighties. He was a fount of knowledge and very kind. I'm so glad your work is being recognised.

Only "thousands of fans?" I'd say a third of the enjoyment of this channel comes from his demonstrations and experiments, so I'd say that Neil was way undersold!

No-one deserves that medal more than Neil Barnes! 👍😊

Absolutely glorious! Congrats🥳

Congrats Neil, you deserve this. I'm one of those thousands of fans.

Well deserved! What a treasure Neil is

This award is so important. Engineers and Doctors wouldn't be able to work efficiently, or at all, without the work of technicians. The recognition of that collective effort is a real milestone, and who else but Neil could have been chosen as first recipient of the award :)

Congratulations Neil! If you build it, they will film it.

What an inspiration you are Mr Neil Barnes. Congratulations for the award, sir. May we see more exciting stuff from you and Periodic Videos family

As a fellow techician in another field (we make things work) I am both delighted and proud to see that recognition has been given to the people behind the scenes. Long overdue and throroughly deserved! Here's to all the 'wranglers',
