Overview
Adam Hart-Davis stops off in Yorkshire as he continues his celebration of unsung scientists. In Whitby, he lauds whaling scientist William Scoresby before taking to sea in a soggy bid to re-create the navigation techniques of Captain James Cook. Also acclaimed are William Bateson, inventor of the term "genetics", and Sir Edward Appleton, who discovered the ionosphere region of the Earth's atmosphere.
