The discoverer of the electron, J.J. Thompson did his work work at the Old Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, England. Take a stroll down the narrow streets of Cambridge, and take a peek inside the Whipple Science Museum.
The ‘Flying Scientist’ who chased spores
On a July day in 1930, British Airship R100 took to the air from a Bedfordshire airfield on its first transatlantic flight. As it made its way across the Atlantic Ocean, 2,000ft in the air, a window opened and Squadron Leader Booth, wearing a pair of rubber gloves, leaned out. In his hand was a Petri dish.
This film tells the story of a remarkable experiment, the brain child of Cambridge mycologist Dr W. A. R. Dillon Weston, and his passion for crafting models of fungi spun out of glass.
Dr Ruth A. Horry from the University of Cambridge’s Department of History and Philosophy of Science tells the story she has been researching, and shows us some of the 90 glass models now housed in the Whipple Museum of the History of Science in Cambridge.

Cambridge is a city on the River Cam in eastern England, home to the prestigious University of Cambridge, dating to 1209. University colleges include King’s, famed for its choir and towering Gothic chapel, as well as Trinity, founded by Henry VIII, and St John’s, with its 16th-century Great Gate. University museums have exhibits on archaeology and anthropology, polar exploration, the history of science and zoology.
Cambridge is a university city and the county town of Cambridgeshire, England, on the River Cam about 50 miles (80 km) north of London. Cambridge became an important trading centre. The first town charters were granted in the 12th century, although city status was not conferred until 1951.
The University of Cambridge, founded in 1209, is one of the top five universities in the world. The university includes the Cavendish Laboratory, King's College Chapel, and the Cambridge University Library. The city's skyline is dominated by the last two buildings, along with the spire of the Our Lady and the English Martyrs Church, the chimney of Addenbrooke's Hospital and St John's College Chapel tower. Anglia Ruskin University, evolved from the Cambridge School of Art and the Cambridgeshire College of Arts and Technology, also has its main campus in the city.
Cambridge is at the heart of the high-technology Silicon Fen with industries such as software and bioscience and many start-up companies born out of the university. More than 40% of the workforce has a higher education qualification, more than twice the national average. The Cambridge Biomedical Campus, one of the largest biomedical research clusters in the world, is soon to be home to AstraZeneca, a hotel and the relocated Papworth Hospital.
Parker's Piece hosted the first ever game of Association football. The Strawberry Fair music and arts festival and Midsummer Fairs are held on Midsummer Common, and the annual Cambridge Beer Festival takes place on Jesus Green. The city is adjacent to the M11 and A14 roads, and Cambridge station is less than an hour from London King's Cross railway station.

Crania Americana -the most important book in the history of scientific racism
On display at the Whipple Library, Cambridge, is a book described as the 'most important book in the history of scientific racism'
Current research into this book is revealing how racist ideas travelled between the United States and Europe in the 19th century.
Crania Americana, published in Philadelphia in 1839 by Samuel George Morton, is being studied by Cambridge University PhD student James Poskett at the Department of History and Philosophy of Science.
His research has uncovered, for the first time, just how influential this book was in scientific circles that included the likes of Charles Darwin and James Cowles Prichard.

The Fuel Cell invention at CEB that took humanity to the Moon
Fuel cell demo presented by researchers from our Electrochemical MicroEngineering group: exploding hydrogen bubbles. The first fuel cell used in the Apollo mission spaceship to take humankind to the Moon was put together by researcher Francis (Tom) Bacon in our department in the late 1950s. One of the fuel cell electrodes was donated to the Whipple Museum of the History of Science in 2006.
It also features an extract from an interview with Emeritus Professor John Davidson, who knew Bacon well.

Men and Machines: The Industrial Revolution at Sea
During the industrial revolution, the Royal Navy was looking for new ways to both improve navigation and control its workforce. A curious machine, invented by the clockmaker Edward Massey, seemed the perfect solution. In this video, Dr James Poskett explores the history of science and technology at sea.
With thanks to the Whipple Museum, Cambridge.

SUMMARY
=======
Cambridge Scientific Instrument Company was a company founded in 1881 by Horace Darwin (1851–1928) and Albert George Dew-Smith (1848–1903) to manufacture scientific instruments.
Darwin was first apprenticed to an engineering firm in Kent, and returned to Cambridge in 1875. Dew-Smith was an engineer, photographer and instrument maker who was at Trinity College, Cambridge with Darwin. Darwin's grandson Erasmus Darwin Barlow was later chairman.
Designed between 1884/85, the rocking microtome was one of Darwin's most successful designs which continued to be manufactured until the 1970s.Their partnership became a Limited Liability Company in 1895. In 1920 it took over the R.W. Paul Instrument Company of London, and became The Cambridge and Paul Instrument Company Ltd. The name was shortened to the Cambridge Instrument Company Ltd. in 1924 when it was converted to a Public limited company. The company was finally taken over by the George Kent Group in 1968, forming the largest independent British manufacturer of industrial instruments.
Several early employees went on to further renown, including Robert Stewart Whipple, who was appointed personal assistant to Horace Darwin in 1898, and later became Managing Director and Chairman of the company. His collection of scientific instruments later formed the basis of the Whipple Museum of the History of Science in 1944. William G. Pye, who had joined as foreman in 1880, left in 1898 to form the W.G. Pye Instrument Company with his son, which ultimately become the Pye group of companies.

The World Inside a Spanish Globe
New research at the University of Cambridge has lifted the lid on an unusual Spanish globe. Until now, the globe in the University of Cambridge's Whipple Museum of the History of Science has been shrouded in mystery: where, when and why was it made? Who would have used it? Most fundamentally, what is it -- some kind of scientific instrument or a child's toy?
The globe (c. 1907) is unlike any other currently known. Inside are beautiful illustrations, encyclopaedic entries and a planetarium that re-enacts the revolution of the planets around the sun at the turn of a cog. Research by Seb Falk in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science has brought us closer to understanding the puzzling object. Remarkably, his work highlights how it symbolises a wave of change that swept 19th-century Spain into the modern world -- from increasing trade in scientific instrumentation to a move of the education system towards interactive learning.
The Whipple Museum holds an internationally important collection of scientific instruments and models, dating from the Middle Ages to the present.

Making Nature: how we see animals
Exhibition open 1 December 2016 – 21 May 2017
The question of how humans relate to other animals has captivated philosophers, anthropologists, ethicists and artists for centuries. This exhibition will bring together over 100 objects from literature, film, taxidermy and photography to examine the historical origins of our ideas about other animals and the consequences of these for ourselves and our planet.

From Dodos to Darwin - rare scientific finds and artifacts on display
UK SCIENCE EXHIBITION

RESTRICTIONS: HORIZONS CLIENTS AND AP LIFESTYLE, HEALTH AND TECHNOLOGY CLIENTS ONLY
LENGTH: 6.05

London, UK - 30 January 2014
1. Various of composite Dodo skeleton, found 1870, Museum of Zoology, University of Cambridge.
2. Various of Tinamou Egg found by Charles Darwin on the Beagle Voyage, 1831-1836, Museum of Zoology, University of Cambridge.
3. Various of Ammonite fossil, Early Cretaceous Age (around 120 BC), Found on the Isle of Wight, Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences.
4. Wide of Discoveries: Art, Science and Exploration exhibition.
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Martin Caiger-Smith, Curatorial Advisor, Two Temple Place:
We were, in effect, asking the curators and directors of museums to interpret this theme of discoveries in whatever way they wished. They brought objects out of the basement sometimes or took them off their display, pride of place. And we began, step by step to think, what sort of objects are coming here, how can we make links between these?, what are they saying to each other and what are they saying about the various museums, about their own endeavours and their own characters.
6. Various of 'Drum Dancer' 1987 by Thomas Akilak, The Polar Museum.
7. Various of Healing Figure, Nancowry Island, India, early 20th century. Collected by Arthur Hulbert, 1905. Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, University of Cambridge Museums.
8. Various of 'Head' 1928 by Henry Moore, Kettle's Yard.
9. Pull focus from 'Head' to Cast-Iron Lintel.
10. Various of Cast-Iron Lintel, found in Shibam Hadhramaut, Yemen, circa 800BC - 601 BC. The Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge.
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Martin Caiger-Smith, Curatorial Advisor, Two Temple Place:
All along in looking at museums which were very diverse in their discipline, we're trying top find connections. It's famous, that idea that art and sciences are separate realms, they don't come together and people don't understand one or the other, but they don't talk to each other. This exhibition tries to get them to talk to each other, so you can see artists, contemporary artists even, making works which relate to scientific discovery.
12. Tilt up of Two Temple Place exterior.
13. Various of building exterior.
14. Tilt up of DNA model based on the original version by Francis Creek and James Watson, Cambridge Laboratory of Molecular Biology.
15. Various close shots of DNA model
16. Close of Three Musketeer carving on staircase.
17. Tilt down from ceiling to hallway.
18. Close of chandelier.
19. Pull focus from chandelier to 'Sidney Colvin' 1943 by William Rothenstein, The Fitzwilliam Museum.

22. Setup shot of Mary Rose Gunn, Chief Executive of the Bulldog Trust, looking at casts of Greek sculptures.
23. Close of cast of Aphrodite of Knidos, Museum of Classical Archaeology.
24. Close of Gunn.
25. SOUNDBITE (English) Mary Rose Gunn, Chief Executive of the Bulldog Trust:
I think that it works wonders in that it just adds the most incredible sense of atmosphere to the objects. Because it's such a ornate space, there definitely was a huge challenge that the curators faced when they were putting the exhibition together, but because Astor himself used to use the space as a space in which to display his quite eclectic collection of objects, I think it feels like everything is at home here.
26. Various of Royal Century Refracting Telescope on equatorial mount c. 1910, W. Watson and Sons, Whipple Museum of the History of Science.
27. Tilt down of collection of snow goggles, The Polar Museum.
