Are You Sure (24 March 2021).

• ... that in 1896, Russian physicist Alexander Stepanovich Popov transmitted a message between campus buildings in St Petersburg via radio waves?

• ... that biochemist and crystallographer John Kendrew shared the 1962 Nobel Prize for chemistry with Max Perutz for determining the atomic structures of proteins using X-ray crystallography?

• ... that chemist, philosopher, educator, and clergyman Joseph Priestley is historically credited with the discovery of oxygen, having isolated it in its gaseous state; yet Priestly's determination to defend phlogiston theory and to reject what would become the chemical revolution left him isolated from the scientific community of his time?

• ... that the Rider-Waite Space Elevator is a space elevator based on the Ryder-Waite tarot deck?
