| In this segment, we'll chat with the curator of a new exhibition at California's Huntington Library. The exhibition, entitled "Beautiful Science: Ideas that Changed the World," spans centuries of scientific progress, from human anatomy to the heavens, and includes original books and drawings by scientific luminaries such as Galileo, Robert Hooke and Charles Darwin. What masterpieces of science would YOU put in such an exhibition? |
