mersenne -

Couple of developments that have caught my eye:

1) Three facebook groups (all can be found by searching groups):

BSHS (British Society for the History of Science)

History and Philosophy of Science, Medicine, and Technology (student group)

STS (Science and Technology in Society)


2) Plus, Simon Schaffer and Alan Macfarlane have made youtube films on the
history of the Cavendish:

History of science 2.0 has clearly arrived!

Anyone know any other similar things?

cheers,
