| Here are some suggestions
for you to think about:
1. The readings provide ample materials for
compiling a series of biographical sketches
of well known and less well known people involved
in the production of scientific knowledge;
2. There is ample material for working on the
history of institutions connected with the production
of scientific knowledge;
3. For those of you who are interested in historiography,
there is ample material dealing with questions
of why we know what we know about the history
of science, and why we don’t know many
of the things that will be covered in the workshop;
4. For those of you interested in connections
between science and art, there is rich material
on visual representation and its role in the
production fo scientific knowledge;
Please feel free to use these suggestions if
you want to. Be assured that all creative responses
are welcome.
To get started, take a look at the “Questions”
section on the site.
