History and Philosophy of Science & Technology
HPST is a small but dedicated group of historians, philosophers, scientists and other interested individuals that meet monthly to discuss their on-going research in the areas of history and philosophy of science and technology. This research group is unique, not only in that it is interdisciplinary but also in that it crosses the boundaries between science and the humanities.
