Valentine’s Meat-Juice, The Medical World May 1914   The Quack Doctor is not a hearts and flowers kind of person, so was interested to learn of a dark side to this product’s history. Brought into production in Richmond, VA, in 1871, Valentine’s Meat-Juice became popular with orthodox physicians and was advertised in professional publications, including the British Medical Journal. Its inventor, Mann S. Valentine, told of its origins in his A Brief History of the Production of Valentine’s Meat J…  »

Il s’agit d’une machine de radiothérapie aux lignes racées et à la couleur verte élégante, datant de 1956 et exposée en permanence au Musée des sciences et de la technologie du Canada. On le voit actuellement à la lumière des innovations canadiennes, mais le Theratron Junior affiche des caractéristiques et possède une histoire qui nous ramène à plusieurs autres trames narratives concernant la science,…

A couple of days ago, historian of science Rebekah Higgitt (curator at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich and author of a very good book about 19C Newton-biographers), myself and some other historians of science had a Twitter discussion about whether there is progress in science, and, if so, what we might mean by it.

by Ryan O’Connor I grew up on Prince Edward Island. As a youth I heard stories of the once-booming silver fox industry, which brought considerable wealth to the province in the early 1900s. While fox ranching has long since ceased, one need look no further than the provincial armorial bearings, adopted in 2002, for a reminder of its former significance. Red foxes are native to the woods and fields of Prince Edward Island. (The silver fox is a rare mutation of the red fox.) Despite spending cou…  »
