EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1898, capturing a significant moment in scientific history at the renowned Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, England. The image showcases a group of research students gathered together, with one man standing out among them all - J (oseph) J (ohn) Thomson. Positioned right at the center of the front row, his arms crossed confidently, Thomson exudes an air of authority and brilliance. As we move our gaze towards the middle row, two other notable figures come into focus - C (harles) T (homson) R (ees) Wilson and Ernest Rutherford. Wilson stands third from left while Rutherford occupies the fourth spot. These young minds would go on to make groundbreaking contributions to science in their own right. The photograph itself is a testament to camaraderie and intellectual pursuit within this esteemed laboratory. It offers us a glimpse into an era when scientific discovery was driven by passionate individuals who dedicated their lives to unraveling nature's mysteries. Taken from JJ Thomson's personal recollections published as "Recollections and Reflections" in 1936, this image serves as a visual time capsule that transports us back over a century ago. It reminds us of how far we have come since then while honoring these brilliant minds who paved the way for future generations of scientists.
