EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from the 1920s depicts a pivotal moment during the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures delivered by renowned English physiologist, Professor Archibald Vivian Hill (1886-1977). In this image, we see Professor Hill, flanked by his two young assistants, Polly and David Hill. The trio is engrossed in an experiment, with the children's heartbeats displayed on a screen, adding an element of fascination and wonderment for the audience. Professor Hill, who shared the 1922 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, delivered a series of lectures at the Royal Institution titled "Nerves and Muscles: How We Feel and Move." These lectures aimed to educate children about the wonders of science and the intricacies of the human body. The interactive nature of the lectures, which included the involvement of young assistants like Polly and David, made for an engaging and memorable learning experience. The photograph, taken in 1926, captures the essence of a time when scientific learning was not only a pursuit for professionals but also for curious young minds. The presence of the Keynes family, who were also regular attendees of the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures, adds to the historical significance of this moment. This image is a testament to the power of education, the importance of family involvement, and the enduring allure of scientific discovery.
