The Philadelphia Area Center for History of Science holds an annual competition for conferences and workshops on the history of science, technology, and medicine. A typical meeting that would be appropriate for this competition would last not more than two days and involve not more than about fifteen speakers. Applications must be submitted by August 19, 2011.
Philadelphia's first city-wide science festival was the occasion for several news items of interest:
The Center has awarded ten fellowships for dissertation research in area archives and libraries, as well as two fellowships for dissertation writing.
