Question
A doctor working for this institution recommended the boiling of a mixture called “rob” after a 1747 experiment with treatments like vitriol and vinegar. The writer Dava Sobel revived the spurious connection of a 1707 disaster for this institution to the creation of a prize-giving board that tested the work of John Harrison. The doctor James Lind pioneered clinical trials while working for this institution, which ran tests of the H4 clock designed to solve the longitude problem. Scientists accompanying this institution’s observation of the transit of Venus coined the name of Botany Bay. This institution undermined its own members by switching to West Indian limes, which lacked enough vitamin C to prevent scurvy. For 10 points, name this institution that brought botanists on the voyages of James Cook. ■END■
