...Dorothy M. Wrinch of Oxford described her latest discoveries about the architecture of molecules. She showed a model of protein molecules which she had built after working them out mathematically. One typical globular molecule looked like a crocheted doily cut up and sewed together in a three-dimensional geometrical object. This she described as a "polyhexagonal lacelike pattern of atoms with the characteristic lacunae or holes, the whole forming a truncated tetrahedron, a cage-like space enclosing a structure roughly resembling a six-point diamond." Molecules in this weight class were called "space-enclosing cyclols." Significance of this work...

...months before the first meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, David Brewster wrote to John Phillips: "The principal object of the Society would be to make the cultivators of science acquainted with each other, to stimulate one another to new exertions, and to bring the objects of science more before the public eye, and to take measures for advancing its interests and accelerating its progress...
