The lunchtime seminar series runs throughout the academic year every alternate Tuesday, 1-2pm either in Room 2.57 of the Simon Building or via Zoom.
Organised by the CHSTM PhD’s, we invite postgraduate researchers from both the University of Manchester and other institutions to present on any topic on the history of science, technology or medicine.
Get in touch if you’d like to come along to talk about your work!
