Experimental determination or detection of the physiological mechanisms underlying disease is by and large a highly complex task. This fact has turned epidemiology into the main tool for generating knowledge in the medical field.
For centuries literature has retaliated against the claims of science by satirising its practitioners as obsessive and possibly mad, or foolish and inept inventors whose experiments continually misfire. Examples of both these groups are discussed in their historical context.

José Manuel García Verdugo is Professor of Cell Biology at the University of Valencia and has already been researching the enigmatic world of neurons for more than thirty years. However, García Verdugo has faced several challenges throughout his research career in the field of Neurogenesis.
A letter written by her friend Olga O. Huckins, where she explained that the birds at her sanctuary in Massachusetts were dying due to fumigations carried out at the moment, is what inspired Rachel Carson to write Silent
The existence of adult neurogenesis in the brain of mammals, our species included, as well as the identification of the cells responsible for said neurogenesis, has completely changed the idea we had of our brain’s organisation. The discovery of the existence
The use of the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) as an experimentation organism started more than a century ago. Since then, the introduction of model animals in scientific research has been essential in order to understand the function of genes and in which way do these
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Nanoscience has progressed over the last 50 years from a scattered set of basic but outstanding breakthroughs to hundreds of research groups world-wide, continuously announcing the discovery of novel nanomaterials and fascinating nanodevices. Nanotechnology is becoming real; in fact, many of these advances have become
