Remembering Great Moments In Science History

Here & Now wraps up this week's Science In America series by looking at the history of science. Every scientist builds on the work of great thinkers who came before, so we wanted to look at some important people and moments in science history.

Here & Now’s Jeremy Hobson talks to David Kaiser, professor of the history of science and professor of physics at MIT. He’s the author of a number of books, including “Drawing Theories Apart” and “How the Hippies Saved Physics.”
