Centenary Talk
May 10th : 19.30-21.00
Science is supposed to be public knowledge - but how does it get there? Public shows of scientific experiments have captured the imagination of countless generations, whether in the coffee houses of 18th-century London or in the Science Museum’s Launchpad. Join science historian Professor Simon Schaffer as he takes you on a journey through the test tubes, air pumps and big bangs that have changed our views of science and its many public meanings.
Speaker:
Simon Schaffer, Professor of the history and philosophy of science
