Apologies for cross-postings.

The Editorial Board of *Spontaneous Generations: A Journal for the History
and Philosophy of Science *is happy to announce the publication of the
journal's first issue.

The journal consists of scholarly peer-reviewed papers, opinion pieces and
reviews.  The first issue features a *Focused Discussion* section devoted
to *Scientific Expertise.* It includes papers by leading philosophers,
historians and STS scholars. We hope it will contribute to the growing
interest in this subject.

Philosophy of Science and Technology, University of Toronto. To access the
