Distinguished Fellow Lecture February 23, 2011

Distinguished Fellow Lecture, Better Living through Alchemy: Private Lives and Applied Science in the Early Modern Era. Bruce Moran, professor of history at the University of Nevada, Reno, and the Dibner Distinguished Fellow at The Huntington, will discuss alchemy--a subject that he says is often greatly misunderstood and one that figures significantly in early modern science. Moran is the author of Distilling Knowledge: Alchemy, Chemistry and the Scientific Revolution. No reservations required.
