SciConf

Hello! We're Mastodon newbies but glad to be here. An #introduction: we're a group of historians & historians of science working on the history of the scientific conference. We're interested in the internal dynamics of conferences & their broader scientific, public & political functions.

Here is an overview of the project: https://heranet.info/2022/08/12/project-of-the-month-sciconf/

We hope to connect with colleagues & interested scholars!

@SciConf Your work looks interesting. I have been working with William Knight in Ottawa - looking at Nova Scotia’s activity at the 1883 International #Fisheries Exhibition. During this #histsci research I located a previously unknown photograph of delegates attending a field excursion on the Thames.
