Recent history resonates with current public health conversations. Check out 2021's Essay section on Pandemic Subjects. Dora Vargha's short article "The Vaccine" says it all: "Vaccines are technologies of trust...and trust can fray at any point." online.ucpress.edu/hsns/article...

Today is a great day to read Spencer Weart's paper on funding at Mauna Loa Observatory: doi.org/10.1525/hsps... From the #vault, it begins "Funding is obviously a necessity for scientific research, but the details of the funding of a given program have rarely been studied in detail."

It's very easy to think that scientists are politically united. But the newest issue of HSNS is a close look at the politics of science. Vol 55 Issue 1 contains 11 short essays looking at the legacy of E.O. Wilson's Sociobiology at 50.

At the beginning of the semester, if questions of AI in academia are stressing you out, could I suggest reading through our most recent set of essays? online.ucpress.edu/hsns/issue/5...

Christoph Hoffmann's article in the most recent Issue of HSNS looks at an "instructive controversy"- the debate between Carl von Hess and Karl von Frisch regarding color vision in fish and bees.

Good day to all our new followers! Here are two papers from our #archives on the intersections of science and national identity. A good way to think about how science has aided the politicization of race and culture over time.

James Fleming's article on promises about weather and climate modification is an important read these days: online.ucpress.edu/hsns/article...

Today is a great day to read "The Black Androids: A Chrestomathy" in the latest issue of HSNS. A Chrestomathy is a group of readings compiled to help a student learn a language. The authors of this essay use this framework to work through their study of black androids.

Vol. 3 Issue 5 is out! There are two articles and an essay in this volume. First up Georg Borg's article on Alfred Nier and the instrument revolution in geochemistry. They use Borg's career to support the idea that there were continuities in pre and post WWII chemistry and physics.

As we think about the place of history of science on the web (and celebrate our first official post here), let's look at a great paper from the archives. David K. Hecht's 2011 article about Rachel Carson, "nonscientific attributes were central in legitimating Carson as a public scientist."

Transformed my @hsnatsci.bsky.social article on the Belgian MYRRHA reactor into a poster for the Nuclear Science Contest of the Belgian Nuclear Society. Happy to bring the HPS-perspective to a science contest!
