Born #OnThisDay in 1871 was Ernest Rutherford PRS. He was the first to theorise the existence of the atomic nucleus, and worked on the first experiment to split the atom. In our collection we have his homemade potato masher, though this is not what he used to split the atom...
What a discovery....👏,@KAKempston
It’s hard to overstate what impact #JWST is going to have on science, astronomy & our understanding of the universe. Incredible images. Huge congratulations to the international team that has made this possible.
A great informative way to find out about careers in STEM. Enjoy 😊 @KAKempston

A huge well done to Callum Donnelly. One of our year 12 chemists, Callum will this year be attending the Kings College London Chemistry Summer School.
Upon completing the summer school, he will be given a contextual offer to study at Kings after A ‘levels. 🌟🧑🔬 @KAKempston

Britain's butterflies are getting bigger due to climate change 🦋
New research using a computer system called Mothra has analysed 125,000 butterfly specimens and found that 24 species of British butterflies are steadily getting larger.

Born #OnThisDay in 1827 was Joseph Lister, President of the Royal Society from 1895 to 1900, and pioneer of antiseptic surgery. His work provided the foundation for the basic principle that bacteria must not be allowed to enter wounds during surgery. #Medicine
