i am interested in the 18th Century on, with the growing specialization in science, particularly in the 19th Century, there were many scientists who were conscious of the profoundly innovative character of their work.

I like to study and write about early physicians became interested in the application of numbers into medicine to better understand infectious diseases, occupational diseases, and invasive medical devices.

The most interesting period to me, and I suspect many others, is that heroic period before the turn of the 19th century until possibly the 1960s, a time when demi-gods walked the earth in physics. Not too much of an exaggeration. Re-creating reality through high-level employment of mind and mathematics. The best! Simply the best!

For the time being I am more interested in periods such as englightment and rennaissance. Generally periods when science flourished, thanks to new, innovative ideas.

Dera Dennis,

For the time being, I am especially interested in the history of science of the XVIth century. It was on this occasion that Galileo and Newton, just to cite two examples, show us unambiguously that the geocentric theory, which endured for a long time, was wrong and should be replaced by the heliocentric theory. It was also on this occasion that was shown that, say, the sleep of reason often generates monsters. Nowadays, there are many people that advocate a flight from reason and science. As I see them, when they are not misapplied, reason and science are one of the best friends of humankind.

Best regards,

Orlando.

I recommend the history of the "science" of psychology, as presented by myself and as replaced with a realistic and rational perspective and approach that will lead to a real science here.

My masterwork is now finished. SEE: https://www.researchgate.net/project/Human-Ethology-and-Development-Ethogram-Theory and see the first few Project Log (Updates) entries; also read all the Comments associated with the second-newest.

I am interested in the era of Enlightenment and the consequnces until today. It is important for science that theologians and the Church lost their power in the field of science. Before, they interfered and threatened scientists still in the 17th and 18th century by prescribing biblical truth as the only right one.

I like the history of discoveries.

When book on Algebra was written by Muhammad Al-Khwarizmi:

" One of the first Directors of the House of Wisdom in Bagdad in the early 9th Century was an outstanding Persian mathematician called Muhammad Al-Khwarizmi. The word “algorithm” is derived from the Latinization of his name, and the word "algebra" is derived from the Latinization of "al-jabr", part of the title of his most famous book, in which he introduced the fundamental algebraic methods and techniques for solving equations. "(https://www.storyofmathematics.com/islamic_alkhwarizmi.html).

When penicillin was discovered by Alexander Fleming :

And all other historical dates told by my respected fellow researchers.

I prefer to learn more about the period between AD 1500 and AD 1700, considered as the age of “Revival of science”, and this was instrumental in effecting a change in the western attitude from the medieval to the modern. However, religion and the emerging empiricism were at loggerheads, and their opposition continued for about 200 years. Despite the opposition, new ideas in physics, astronomy, biology, human anatomy, chemistry, and other disciplines rejected many doctrines and beliefs prevalent in the society ultimately ushering in modern science.

I`m interested particularly interested in 19th Century, the history of forensic sciences, the history of medicine and the birth of criminalistics.

I work mostly on the sixteenth to the eighteenth century because we can find many original books of time and it avoids the too frequent mistakes of historians of the nineteenth century, reproduced many times by their successors.

I study the translation and transmission of medieval science (mostly astronomy and mathematics) from the early 'Abbasid period through Tudor England. In particular I look at how knowledge is transmitted through literature, textbooks and instrument manuals and how these change over time.

i like the history of early childhood settings

I'm interested in the medical history, especially the history of psychiatry and history of psychology. Though I am not the medical specialists, the psy-disciplines are really attractive to me. They may reflect or represent the normality and pathology in the specific locality and time. Besides, the transmission of knowledge and professions is another topics I like to read.

Personally I have always liked the ongoing debate regarding the early modern scientific revolution. Stephen Shapin has crafted a wonderful argument grounded in his theory that there was no scientific revolution in his eponymous The Scientific Revolution. If you are not familiar with it, I highly suggest you check it out. Also, as you could probably tell from my profile picture, I have done ample research in the history of chemical and biological weapons development. it is what actually led me to the field of environmental history which tends to be very heavy on employing evidence and methods from hard sciences, and in many ways falls into the realm of the history of science and technology.

Is anyone familiar with the 'Accademia del Cemento' [Academy of Experiment] in Tuscany, Italy in the 17th century?
