Past Events

James Poskett, ‘Horizons: a global history of science,' 24th March 2023: 1.30pm

We are told that modern science was invented in Europe, the product of great minds like Nicolaus Copernicus, Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein. But this is wrong. Science is not, and has never been, a uniquely European endeavour.
