A History of Science postcard form Berlin.

On a recent visit to the Pergamon Museum here in Berlin, where I am living this spring, I snapped this photo of an astrolabe I saw in the Islamic collections:

I'm sure to have more History of Science tidbits to post about over the course of the next several months: there's a lot of Wissenschaftsgeschichte to see and do here.

Love this, Am! I have a wonderful laptop bag from the Pergamon with a mythical beast on it. Please keep the updates coming!

Welcome to HSMT at Wisconsin

Welcome to the grad student blog for Wisconsin's program in the History of Science, Medicine, and Technology. This is an informal forum for our grad students and guest bloggers to share ideas, announcements, and discussions about our research and interests. We hope that this cross-pollination will bring more collaboration and fun to our work together.

The UW-Madison Program in the History of Science, Medicine, and Technology is one of the largest and oldest academic programs of its kind in the United States. We are administered by the Department of the History of Science, and staffed by faculty from the departments of History of Science and Medical History & Bioethics. We explore all historical aspects of science, medicine, and technology -- from their internal development to their broader social contexts, including their relationships with institutions, philosophy, religion, and literature.

If you have questions about Wisconsin's HSMT program, please follow the link below to the department's official website.
