A History of Scientific Journals: publishing at the Royal Society 1665-2015 (UCL Press, 2022, #openaccess ) is short-listed for the Pickstone Prize for the the best academic book (in English) in history of science, medicine and technology. #hstm #histsci #histodons

Karpf contrasts the claims for A.I. transformation (that it is a "general purpose technology") with the truly transformative effects of the #SteamEngine and #electricity. The history of these technologies is powerful evidence that the context produces these transformations as much as the technology. In understanding how LLMs might be transformative, we need to understand not only the agents boosting them, but the powers putting them to use.

Today I'm writing about how sex selection emerged as one of the leading promises of 20th-c. biologists/eugenicists as they got to grips with sexological genetics. 😬

Did you know that the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense had a number of medical research groups that focused on illnesses such as sickle cell anemia that were under-studied because they were considered to be a "black disease."

To celebrate the 163rd anniversary of the publication of Origin of Species today, the Darwin Correspondence Project at #CambridgeUL has published the full edition of #Darwin 's correspondence online! Explore more than 15000 letters, from Darwin's first letter in 1822 to his death in 1882.

Much as I like physical books, it's really exciting to have the collected correspondence now full-text searchable:

I never managed to post an #introduction, so here goes.

I’m Tom Scheinfeldt. I’m a faculty member at the University of Connecticut, where I teach history of technology, digital culture, design thinking, and digital humanities. I also direct an interdisciplinary research incubator called Greenhouse Studios. I’ve worked on lots of things through the years both at @uconn and at the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University, including #Sourcery, #THATCamp, and #Omeka.

I blog at https://foundhistory.org. I like #swimming and #skiing and I have a wife and two sons. We live in West Hartford.

Loving Mastodon so far!

(BTW: If you followed me in the last week or so, you may want to do so again. A bunch of followers were erased due to some technical issues on my server.)
