Delighted that Edwin Rose, currently Cambridge HPS, will be joining us as a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow next May. His project, "Information, Empire and the Darwin Dynasty, 1719–1962”, looks at the history of science publishing and the use of publishing to create legacies for scientific dynasties.

the psychology of science is under exploded and my next book does discuss some of it, but I also think that before worrying about the psychology of science scientists should learn from History and Philosophy of Science, a rich field with a long tradition. #philsky #philsci doi.org/10.1038/s415...
