#Hippocampus is publishing a series of #science retrospectives about the history and journeys that led us to where we are scientifically.

Mine just dropped.

I'm deeply honored to have been asked to be a part of this. (They are releasing them as they get through production, so keep an eye on the journal for the rest of them. They had us read them to make connections and it's a fantastic set.)

#HistoryOfScience

Also, by the way, this paper contains the history of #VTE that I often use in my talks. (Updated to include not just the technological breakthroughs in experimental techniques and the mathematical sciences, but also the theoretical breakthroughs that were necessary to get us to see rats "thinking about the future".)

I think this speaks to why science is slow and why we have to look at science over a long time scale

@adredish Nice! Your 2016 VTE review is always part of my teaching modules on behavior, so I'm very glad to have this extra resource for next year.
