The Oxford Virtual Science Walk
The Oxford Science Walk takes you to some of the most important and interesting historic scientific sites in Oxford, from the time of the founding of the University in the 13th century and the work of Friar Bacon to advancements in modern science such as the development of penicillin. The flowering of science in Oxford is traced through the work of such people as Robert Boyle (of Boyle's Law), Edmond Halley (of Halley's comet), Stephen Hawking (an Oxford undergraduate), and Dorothy Hodgkin (discoverer of the structure of Vitamin B12).
