I reviewed an article for @HDiplo on "The Origins of Euratom’s Research on Controlled Thermonuclear Fusion". The article provides well-researched insights in politics by means of international scientific exchange, 1958-1968! #fusion #History & #scidip

I had the great honor of reviewing 1 of the best contributions to #history of #science in 2022 - THE SQUARES (by @ccmmody; Open Access at MIT Press): https://muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/article/879621

Here's my review of @driscoll`s THE MODEM WORLD - the book explores little-known aspects from the (pre)history of social media, c. 1978-1995. The book's call to imagine a post-commercial online world hits the nerve of our time!

Can't recommend this book enough (go buy & read it)! I especially hope that the book will encourage scholars outside the US to explore the history of their local BBSs (that's still a niche).
