Did you know that Darwin has a crater on the Moon? Or that Einstein was bad at maths? Did you know that Newton was such a nasty tempered man that almost no-one dared to go to his classes? Or that an Italian invented the telephone before Graham Bell did?
Taking advantage of the latest digital animation techniques, Science Gossip summarizes the careers of important figures from the History of Science.

First class information, totally true, fully proved and lots of fun!
