Scotland's Science Next Synopsis

The telephone, television, pneumatic tyres, penicillin, radar - these are just some of the inventions, discoveries, and developments where the fundamental contributions of Scottish scientists and technologists are well recognised. Less well known, but no less revolutionary, are Scotland's other scientific innovations in fields such as pharmaceuticals; botany and geology; medical diagnostics and evidence-based medicine; particle physics; and the detection of supernovas and gravity waves.

As the successor to Scotland's Science, this 2022 edition of the book concentrates mainly on the towering achievements of the 20th and 21st centuries. It takes a comprehensive view of Scotland's science at home and abroad, and tells its stories in an engaging and highly readable way.
