'The shambles of science': early physiology teaching at UCL & The Brown Dog Affair.
On 2 February 1903, William Bayliss, Assistant Professor of Physiology at UCL, gave a lecture on the process of secretion, which included a demonstration using an anaesthetised dog. Present were two students of the London School of Medicine for Women, whose account of proceedings led to allegations of law-breaking, questions in Parliament, and a libel trial. When a statue commemorating the dog was installed in a recreation ground in Battersea, serious public disorder on the streets of London followed, bringing medical students into conflict with anti-vivisectionists, the working people of Battersea, and campaigners for women’s suffrage. Consequences included the removal of the statue under cover of darkness, and ultimately a new Royal Commission on Vivisection.

At UCL, we understand how science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) are fundamental to the way we live our lives and shape so many of the things that we see and do every day.
In this lecture, Prof David Bogle shows how chemical engineers have an important role to play in physiology and clinical medicine. Using the body's 'chemical factory' - the liver system - as an example, Prof Bogle discusses the need for systems approaches to modelling complex chemical and physical interactions at multiple scales in living systems through Chemical Engineering analysis.
