Thanks to the hard work done by the medical profession in the Industrial period, the stage was set for even more exciting discoveries and life-saving inventions. The next 100 years would see developments in plastic and transplant surgery; the discovery of the world's most powerful antibiotic; and the mapping of the human genome, which provided the key to understanding genetic diseases and how the body is infected by them. External influences, such as increased government funding and improved communications, made it a lot easier for scientists to carry out their research and share it with others. Perhaps the biggest influence came from two of the biggest events of the twentieth century - the two world wars.

I loved this GCSEPod, it covered all the things my teacher had been covering in class. I will be asking my Dad to buy me some more History ones!
