The discoveries made here have changed the very way in which we live, from the way we predict natural disasters to how we fight disease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering that its students have included the likes of Stephen Hawking, it is no surprise that almost all the world\u2019s most ambitious and gifted individuals dream of earning a spot in this prestigious school. Luckily, for those of us who probably won\u2019t get to study in the same rooms as the late professor, the doors are open for visits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What amazing and lesser-known discoveries came from Oxford?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Penicillin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How antibodies work<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No-needle injections<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Voting trends<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weather predictions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We tell you more below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Penicillin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Saving lives seems to be a theme of Oxford\u2019s discoveries. Howard Florey and Ernst Chain pioneered penicillin at the University of Oxford, which is thought to have saved over 200 million lives globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though originally discovered by Alexander Fleming, clinical trials took place at Oxford, proving penicillin\u2019s ability to fight bacterial infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"840\" height=\"784\" src=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/penicelin.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5403\" style=\"width:448px;height:418px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/penicelin.jpg 840w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/penicelin-300x280.jpg 300w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/penicelin-768x717.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How antibodies work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Admittedly, antibodies were actually discovered at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ox.ac.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">University of Oxford<\/a>. However, we didn\u2019t really understand how antibodies worked until Rodney Potter, alongside American physician Gerald Edelman, unveiled their structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, the scientists showed how antibodies bind together to form a barrier against disease. Although this may be common knowledge nowadays, it remained a secret until 1967. The discovery earned Potter and Edelman a Nobel Prize in 1972.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No-needle injections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you the kind of person who gets a tad squeamish around needles? Well, the days of using syringes to administer medications and vaccines might soon be over. British Professor Brian Bellhouse invented a new way to administer injections without needles in 1993.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new method shoots a high-pressure powder into your skin, causing no pain whatsoever. Maybe there\u2019ll be no need to feel slightly pricked the next time you\u2019re due for a round of vaccines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Voting trends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Science doesn\u2019t always concern physics, chemistry and biology. Sometimes, it\u2019s all about politics, as Oxford professors have proven with several academic studies, many of them firsts. Take Sir David Butler, for example, a political scientist at the University of Oxford. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He and his team first legitimised the concept and coined the term electoral swing, which measures the change in voter support for a particular political candidate or party. The electoral swing is now frequently used to make voting predictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weather predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of predictions, let\u2019s talk about Professor Fred Taylor, who\u2019s been working on satellite <a href=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/whats-british-weather-really-like\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">meteorology<\/a> for over four decades at Oxford. In the 1970s, he pioneered the technique of infrared remote sensing, which is used to measure land and sea surface temperatures and even detect forest fires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 1990s, infrared remote sensing uncovered the extent of the growing hole in the ozone layer. We wouldn\u2019t be surprised to learn that Taylor\u2019s technique has saved\u2014and will save\u2014quite a few lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CHGczAVHW4A\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" style=\" background:#FFF;
