Fellowship Project

Histories of Science

Through a series of short-form videos, this project will bring up-to-date research on the history of science, and especially ancient science, directly to the public. Whereas academic scholarship relies on peer review, no such sorting mechanism distinguishes reliable from unreliable content on social media. This project aims to cut through the noise and share the actual history of science with a popular audience through a series of videos that explain the concepts, theories, and practices that featured in the sciences of the past.
