The Philadelphia Area Center for History of Science invites applications for support of conferences and workshops on the history of science, technology and medicine—broadly construed. The current competition is for conferences that will take place during 10 January 2012 - 30 June 2012. We plan to support two events and to adjust and expand the program based on the outcome of this first round.
Terry wrote to PACHS recently about his post-doctoral work:
"The 2009-2010 academic year was very productive for me. This circumstance is due, in large part, to the resources available to me as a PACHS Visiting Fellow. As a consequence of this access, I was able to fully develop two projects, one of which will be submitted for publication in the summer of 2010.
