Utrecht University Museum: An Idea

On Saturday, May 21st, we visited the Utrecht University Museum. It was amazing to learn about all the discoveries done during the time when science was a hit or miss. The part that really stood out to me was the "experiment" room. This room really showcased the process that scientists used to discovery various things. Sometimes ideas proved right, but sometimes they didn't. The example the tour guide presented really stood out to me. She showed a big boot that was used to drain blood from the bodies of people with mental diseases. People at the time believed that if you drained the "bad blood" of these people, they would be cured. Turns out, this method just killed a lot of people, but it was an important step in science! I realized that I never thought of science in that way, and I really appreciated the fact that I am entering a field that will always bring me ideas to test!
