Visit the exhibition, “Printing Science,” on view in Special Collections at the Knight Library from June 3- Oct. 4, 2013. The exhibt explores the history of science through 15th-18th century works drawn from our collections. From bizarre microscopic organisms to an infinite universe, early modern print showcased nature on an awe-inspiring scale. This exhibit explores the agency of print in shaping scientific ideas, practices, and publics, particularly through new genres such as the first world atlas and the first scientific periodical. Mixing the works of famous figures such as Descartes, Newton, and Boyle with lesser known explorers of nature, Printing Science discusses what format, provenance, and visuality can tell us about emerging experimental science. Printing Science is a collaborative project of my spring 2013 course, History 410/510, History of Science: The Experiment.
