Humanities for STEM Year 1 Kickoff

This is the opening session of a two-year research collaborative: Humanities for STEM: Using Archives to Bridge the Two Cultures Divide. Anyone with an interest in using archives to extend our understanding of science, technology, engineering and mathematics is welcome to attend, although part of the day's program will be devoted to logistical issues for members of the research collaborative. The afternoon will feature a panel discussion:
