Getting the word out
I figured it was time to move the History of Science WikiProject to the next level, so I sent an email about it to h-sci-med-tech. While no one has responded directly on the listserv so far, a surprising number of readers from the list have blogged about my message:
Medical Museion Weblog – The blog of Thomas Söderqvist
Paradigms Lost – A new History of Science and Medicine blog from Saint Joseph’s College of Maine
LIS 569 – A library science course blog at U. Wisconsin (Madison)
Rational rants - The technology and media blog of Mitch Ratcliffe (a journalist who apparently lurks on h-sci-med-tech)
The response by each is quite positive. Then again, the people who are blogging at all are probably more disposed to see Wikipedia in a positive light than the average historian.
Update:
RTP3.com – The blog of Thad Parsons, a graduate student at the Museum of the History of Science at Oxford.
