Date
Wednesdays, October 15 to November 19

Stories of scientific and technological discovery usually focus on bright ideas and revolutionary new thoughts. Instead, this course will explore what makes such intellectual leaps possible in the first place: the instruments, measurements, and devices that scientists and engineers have used throughout history to help them understand and control the world around us. 

This course is a part of the Senior Scholars Program.
