Division of History of Science
Excerpt: 

The IUHPS is one of 26 scientific unions belonging to the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU). As the world's leading non-governmental organization in the field of science, ICSU promotes congresses, publications, and other initiatives designed to facilitate international exchanges and understanding. The IUHPS joined the ICSU family in 1947, and the history of science congresses that have taken place since that date have been held under the ICSU umbrella.
The IUHPS is itself composed of two divisions: the DHS and the DLMPS (Division of Logic, Methodology, and Philosophy of Science). Each division organizes its own international congress once every four years. The DHS's last congress took place in Mexico City in 2001; the DLMPS's in Cracow in 1999.
Financial support for the DHS comes from a direct subsidy from ICSU and from the subscriptions of the 49 national committees that adhere to the division. Its scholarly work is conducted mainly through its 13 scientific commissions, 5 inter-union commissions, and 3 independent scientific sections.
With such a structure, the quality of the DHS's work is largely determined by the vigor of its commissions and sections, and inevitably the profile of activity over the years has been variable. But aided by the exceedingly modest support that DHS has been able to give, several commissions and sections have achieved striking results, in the form of meetings, newsletters, and scholarly publications.

Excerpt: 

In 1857, the Chicago Academy of Sciences became Chicago's first museum. In October 1999, the Museum expanded to become the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, and moved to its current home in Lincoln Park on Fullerton Parkway and Cannon Drive.

Today, the Nature Museum is the place where

you'll be dazzled by beautiful wildflowers
exotic butterflies will land on your shoulder—even in December
youngsters can dress up like animals and go a little wild
your spirit will be lifted in a sun-soaked building, surrounded by the trees and wildlife.

HAPSAT
Excerpt: 

HAPSAT is the association of IHPST graduate students. Every graduate student is a member. The executive is made up of a President, a Treasurer, a GSU Representative, "Colloquialism" Coördinator(s), and a Union Steward. The election for these positions occurs in September. HAPSAT is the official voice of the student body, bringing issues of concern to the faculty. Its activities vary from year to year, some years being more vocal than others. The one thing you can count on is that it will organize one or two parties over the year: the first one is usually a Pot-Luck Blow-Out in September

Students have the choice of, for example, the only Polish university course in Art History and Conservation, or attractive interdisciplinary options in the humanities. There are several specialisations available which are rarely represented at other Polish universities, such as Medical Physics, and Chemistry with Elements of Marketing and Management. Over 56 postgraduate and 12 doctoral programmes are also available. The total enrolment at the University is 34,000, of whom 508 are graduate students working towards Doctor degrees.
