Ep.27 - Blood Cells
This week, we’re uncovering blood cells - exploring how they were studied, and what turtles had to do with it. The author is William Hewson, and his 1777 book 'Experimental Inquiries: Containing a Description of the Red Particles of the Blood' contains many important discoveries - from the shape of blood cells to how blood clotting works. _______________ Follow us on: Bluesky - @physiciansgallery Instagram - @physiciansgallery TikTok - @physiciansgallery Facebook - www.facebook.com/PhysiciansGallery Sign up for our newsletter - www.rcpe.ac.uk/newsletter To support heritage at the RCPE, please donate: www.rcpe.ac.uk/donate _______________ The Team: Celia Atherton - Researcher/Presenter Dr Charlotte Holmes (@_CCHolmes_) - Editor/Producer Dr Daisy Cunynghame - Researcher/Presenter Dr Sarah Hayward - Editor/Producer Elizabeth Van Trampe - Editor/Producer
