    Hello again, you fine people! 
    Today's podcast is a touch-and-go history of British Healthcare between 1850 ish and 1942 as a foundation for more of the topics we will be discussing in the future. 
    The images taken from various places across the internet are of 1) Otto Von Bismarck, 2) David Lloyd-George, 3) Winston Churchill and 4) William Beveridge.

    Introduction and Anton Van Leeuwenhoek

    Hello there, this is the first episode of my new project Blood, Bones and Brains. In this I am outlining the major concepts I want to cover and doing a brief biography and extolling of the 'father' of microbiology, Anton Van Leeuwenhoek.

    Photo taken from Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonie_van_Leeuwenhoek
    Anton's letters that appear in philosophical transactions can be found by searching the Royal Society Archives, be warned these are scanned images that have OCS overlayed, not transcriptions.
    As for the other information the biolographical information came from a variety of sources, Wikipedia through to dutch national archives, these can be found by simple searching his name in Google.
