From the Atomic Tree

Did you know the following? At the end of World War II on August 6, 1945 an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima by the Americans. The plants and trees in the area around the epicentre were examined in September 1945. Among the survivors were Ginkgo biloba trees. They were situated near the blast center and appeared to bud after the blast without major deformations and are still alive today. This leaf came from another ginkgo living in the botanical garden of Bern.

A Quote from Voltaire
"The art of medicine consists in amusing the patient while nature cures the disease."
245 years later, has it become so much different?
