Broomball Photos
G'day folks. I'd imagine you'd like nothing better to see pictures of us floundering about on the ice. Fortunately the IM sports department exists solely to make your wishes a reality. I was going to caption all of these with inanely flip comments, but it really mucks with the formatting and makes for about a thousand-yard post, so instead I'll let them speak for themselves (clicking on the photo will enlarge the photo, and decrease our dignity in equal proportion):
Welcome to the blog for the program in the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine! This blog is meant to be a forum for any number of HSTM related subjects. I would hope that this blog can be a place where current faculty and grad students can discuss weekly colloquia, where alumni and others can post about upcoming articles, books, and general updates (both personal and professional), and where general HSTM ideas, events, and discussions can be posted on a regular basis. Please feel free to post at any time. Everybody is welcome.
If you have any questions about the colloquium schedule or any specific questions about the program you should contact Barbara Eastwold, the administrative assistant for the program, as I am merely a blog administrator/graduate student and wield no real power.
