This giant walk-in cell, magnified a million times, is the centrepiece
of the Wellcome Trust’s Science for Life exhibition, which opened last week.
The permanent exhibition, on show at the Trust’s refurbished building in
London’s Euston Road, is intended to attract young people into biomedical
research and also stimulate adults with an interest in medicine and the
politics of science. David Weatherall from the University of Oxford, one
of the trust’s governors and president of the British Association for the
Advancement of Science, launched the centre’s exhibition. He said it has
an important role at a time when many ethical issues were demanding a well-informed
debate between doctors and the public.
