Welcome to Stuff You Missed in History Class, a production of IHeart Radio.

Hello and happy Friday. I'm Tracy V. Wilson.

And I'm Holly Fry.

This week we spent the whole week talking about Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin.

Something that became clear to me very early in the research was going to be two parts.

Both because I wanted to spend a little more time talking about her peace activism, her work basically saying we should cooperate internationally as

scientists, all of that, which is mentioned in most writing about her, but maybe not a lot of

time spent on it. And also, I just loved her. She's great. I kept finding more reasons to love her the longer I worked on the episode.

And when I was in England, I sent myself a number of emails that just said as the subject

line, some person's name or some event or whatever that I had just found reference to.

Yeah, I do the same when I travel.

Yeah, eventually, for some reason, I got tired of doing that.

And I started just taking pictures of signs.

And then after I got back to my desk, I was just flipping through my camera roll and seeing all the pictures of signs I had taken

and, you know, displays and museums and things like that. And that was when I realized number two,

number one, a bunch of stuff was tagged as happening on Dorothy Hodgkin Road. And then number two,

that I had multiple things related to Dorothy Hodgkin that I had taken pictures of while I was doing that.

I had also taken pictures of first, the exterior of the Alexander Fleming Laboratory Museum,

which is at the hospital where he was working in London.

Holly, have you been there?
