Episode 2: Why do we Study the History of Science


Listen Later

In this solo episode, Susan talks about her personal interest in The History of Science- medicine- and why she thinks the subject is important in the modern day. As well as this, she also exposes herself on broadcast through her deeply strange fascination with Victorian anatomical books.


Special thanks to Harriet for directing me to specific books and Amelia for the 3 hours she devoted to helping me edit!
