In our new book we started on Tuesday The History of Medicine we learned about a doctor who challenged the teachings of his teachers and an author/doctor of ancient Greece. His name was Andreas Vesalius. He was born just before midnight December 31. The year he published his book about his discoveries was the same year Nicolas Copernicus published his book about the sun being the center of the solar system. It was the start of the scientific revolution. In another book of Science we learned about enzymes. They either break apart or put together molecules. That led to learning that canned pineapple is precooked therefore deactivating the enzymes that break down things.
