The lunchtime seminar series runs throughout the academic year every Tuesday, 1-2pm and at the moment are all held on 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.
Please email alice.naisbitt@manchester.ac.uk – for the Zoom link, more information or if you have any interest in presenting.
