voices in
history of science
Historia Project's "Voices in History of Science" series are a combination of guest speaker seminars and conversations with professionals in the field who have devoted their careers to the history of science.
​
We provide these free events for everyone as a means to hopefully engage and be communicated of the passion that these experts share for the history of science and to have first-hand experience with this field.
