International Education Week: The Caltech Heritage Project – Institutional + International History Memorialized

Historian of Science and International Affairs, Dr. David Zierler, will describe the meaning and goals of institutional history, and how his focus on the humanity behind scientific research led to the creation of the Caltech Heritage Project. Caltech is a gathering point of scientists from all over the world emphasizing the international character of science in the 21st century. Indeed, Caltech's greatness rests on its ability to attract the best minds the world over, and in turn, train the best to continue in their science albeit in the United States or abroad. The Caltech Heritage Project documents this international history of science. Lunch Provided.
