Terzo appuntamento del ciclo di seminari online Two Centuries of Pasteur!
Il terzo appuntamento del seminario Two Centuries of Pasteur, che si terrà in modalità telematica il giorno 26 gennaio 2023, alle ore 17 (CET), vedrà ospite Bert Hansen (Professor Emeritus of History, Baruch College – CUNY), con un intervento dal titolo: Understanding Pasteur’s Use of the Fine Arts and Popular Media.
Abstract: Building on documentation in his articles about Louis Pasteur and the fine arts, Hansen will present a new argument that Pasteur’s active efforts in the 1880s to gain publicity for his discoveries drew upon his experiences in the art world and had important effects on his scientific career and legacy.
