London Museum’s Top Scientific Discoveries

The Science Museum of London has compiled a list of what they consider to be their top ten possessions, three of which have revolutionized the world of medicine. In the museum’s collection rests one of the world’s oldest x-ray machines, the original DNA double helix model created by Watson and Crick in 1953, and the original penicillin mold owned by Alexander Fleming that eventually led to the discovery of the penicillin antibiotic. Can you imagine medicine today without x-rays or antibiotics? Or what it must feel like to not know that DNA is the code to all life on Earth? The museum is currently displaying these items as part of their 100 Anniversary celebration. Visit the museum’s website to vote for your top scientific discovery.

    All are vital to our health and benefit the future. Each is a step to another. Perhaps telescopes, come even before this and step by step they all string. No true beginning or end, merely the psychology of change. How eciting to learn and watch and read and always a brain taste and I devour it all!
