Dear all,
Britain is organizing an on-line poll of the top 20th century "British
innovations" backed by the Science Museum, the Royal Academy etc. Voting
ends on March 25. The URL for this on-line poll is
http://www.topbritishinnovations.org/ , then select "1 - Vote for the
Past innovation".
If you select "Order by Most Popular" (go) you will see "X-ray
crystallography technique" appear on the screen.
Undoubtedly, the Bragg's contribution to the development of X-ray
crystallography (100 years ago) was essential to shape this Science as
we practice it today. As macromolecular crystallographers, what is our
view of the importance of X-ray crystallography as an important
innovation ? Perhaps it is the time to vote for "our fav" ? Only two
days to go before the poll closes.
Thank you,
Fred.
