"Know what Cleopatra's contribution to science was? Ismail Serageldin, Director of the Library of Alexandria, opened the four-day international BioVision life sciences meeting there in April 2006 with a lecture tracing Egypt's contributions to scientific progress from ancient to modern times. In Science in Egypt from Imhotep to Zewail, Serageldin describes how the foundations of medicine, dentistry, library science, astronomy, geography and more were laid in Egypt. Provided through a partnership between the New York Academy of Sciences and the Library of Alexandria.
