Just what did science look like 150 years ago? In this fascinating series we explore some of the big ideas in science, technology and medicine that dominated people’s lives. What was known? What was new? What was controversial? And where did it lead? From evolution and geology to mining and physics, we’ll be in conversation with academics and postgraduate researchers based here at the Centre for the History & Philosophy of Science at the University of Leeds as we celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the Yorkshire College of Science.

She also examines how one of the most famous children’s authors of the time, Lewis Carroll, mounted public campaigns against vivisection and how scientific ideas ran through his work.
