I want to know the answer to the following question:
Who replaced universities as centres of scientific research and development during the Enlightenment?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Some historians have marked the 18th century as a drab period in the history of science; however, the century saw significant advancements in the practice of medicine, mathematics, and physics; the development of biological taxonomy; a new understanding of magnetism and electricity; and the maturation of chemistry as a discipline, which established the foundations of modern chemistry.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
