academics to try out new material. Junior faculty, post-docs and
graduate students are invited to submit paper proposals on any theme in
the history of science, technology and medicine. The 2013 meeting
included presentations on a range of topics including 18th Century
physics, the history of American public health, and development projects
in India.
