I know – boring photo of a lot of words. “For over 500 years, teaching, learning and discovery has flowed through the veins of Aberdeen. The lives and careers of the medical pioneers featured here testify to the city’s emphasis on education. Their revolutionary research has saved countless lives and has contributed to our understanding of many infectious and life-threatening diseases. World Life Savers Until the beginning of the 17th century Aberdeen, with King’s and Marischal Colleges, could proudly boast that it had as many universities as all of England. This is a city that values learning and champions independent thought. Being unafraid to challenge traditional thinking is a trait shared by our World Life Savers. Perhaps the relative remoteness of Aberdeen gives space to research, and freedom to think? For over five centuries, men and women from Aberdeen and the North-East have pushed boundaries, their ground-breaking research sending ideas around the globe, their work transforming lives the world over.”….here is hoping for space to research and freedom to think! #trials #science #research @uniofaberdeen @goals.of.hair
