Nature, the international weekly journal of science, was launched on 4th of November 1869. The past 150 years have seen an incredible amount of change in our understanding of the world, how discovers are made and who does them. Looking back through Nature’s history affords a fascinating insight into the history of science itself, the scientific community and the role of scientific journals.
