16th Century Life Sciences
In our whirlwind tour of the history of science, this week we make our stop in the 16th century, the 1500's, the century of the Reformation, the era of Vesalius, herbals, new world natural history, Paracelsus, Henry VIII and Shakespeare. Our aim will be to get to know the scientists of 16th-century culture in terms of their own place and time. We'll not be like tourists in London or Padua who seek fast food at McDonald's. We'll take nothing for granted.
