Denison\u2014who lived in London for three years and once took a sabbatical in Cambridge\u2014created this trip to focus on the history of scientific discoveries and the scientists behind them, allowing for an immersive learning experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think seeing the places and the objects that were studied to make those discoveries is interesting, and maybe makes it more memorable,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Denison began leading this trip about two decades ago and says that, generally, each class is half-filled with science-based students and half with nonscience students. Students of various disciplines are encouraged to study abroad, whether it be for a three-week Winter Term or a full semester, to learn more in their major or broaden their perspective academically and culturally.<\/p>\n<p>Students stayed in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eckerd.edu\/global\/semester\/london-study-centre\/\">Eckerd\u2019s London Study Centre<\/a>, located right downtown near the London Underground and within walking distance of The British Museum.<\/p>\n<p>By combining Denison\u2019s familiarity with the city and its resources with the great number of scientific discoveries made in London, the trip has much to offer.<\/p>\n<p>Not only did the class visit museums that focus on discoveries\u2014like the Alexander Fleming Laboratory Museum, where they learned about the accidental discovery of penicillin in 1928\u2014the class also visited the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think placing contemporary or nonscientific events alongside scientific events can put them into\u2014you know\u2014some kind of context,\u201d Denison says, using the Versailles exhibit at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencemuseum.org.uk\">Science Museum<\/a> as an example.<\/p>\n<p>Students even visited Charles Darwin\u2019s former residence after reading about him. They wandered through his old home, reading about Darwin\u2019s voyage on the Beagle and his work in evolution before stepping outside to walk along his \u201cthinking path\u201d and through the gardens. Some eventually came across an open field with sheep roaming and grazing.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; top_margin_tablet=&#8221;32&#8243; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; column_padding_type=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_type=&#8221;default&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;17757&#8243; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;entrance&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; animation_movement_type=&#8221;transform_y&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;16&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]<em>Kaitlin attended five West End shows during Winter Term; the entire class saw <\/em>Hamilton <em>as a group.

While the study centre is a compact space, she says the building was beautiful and the staff (who cleaned the house and cooked breakfast for students) were very nice. The study centre has a common room with a TV, board games and video games for students to use. \u201cI can\u2019t remember the last time I played Wii Sports Resort before I stayed at the study centre,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n<p>Her favorite aspect of the class was the personalized learning opportunities at museums, because Denison often allowed students to explore what was most interesting to them, instead of staying together the entire museum visit. This allowed her to learn at her own pace in the exhibits she found most intriguing. Not only did this trip teach students about various scientific discoveries and their importance, but it also put scientific ideas into a broader context, illustrating how discoveries can be used or misused.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI also appreciate Denison\u2019s efforts to make this trip a cultural experience as much as an academic one,\u201d Kaya says. \u201cIn our free time we would go to different restaurants and pubs and also attend the theatre. As a theatre major, I was really excited to explore the theatrical side of London.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During the free weekend, Kaya and some friends went to Dublin, which she enjoyed as well. She recommends this study abroad course to any Eckerd student wanting to explore global contributions to science while experiencing another culture.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; top_margin_tablet=&#8221;32&#8243; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; column_padding_type=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_type=&#8221;default&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;17752&#8243; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;entrance&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; animation_movement_type=&#8221;transform_y&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;16&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]<em>Kaya, Zoe and Kaitlin pose as wizards before departing from London to Paris.
