Time is considered one of our most valuable assets. The keeping of time goes all the way back to the beginning of civilization. Both historians and archeologists believe that stationary and portable sun-dials were probably developed in Egypt or Mesopotamia. The oldest extant sun-dial can be found in Egypt and dates back to 1500 BCE. We know that the early Egyptians used the pyramids as well as the obelisks as a forerunner to the sundial.
This paper explores the dissemination and development of science in colonial America. Specifically, I examine a general periodical (or newspaper), the Pennsylvania Gazette, in the years 1729 - 1765. I impose the modern definition of science to describe a style of enlightenment natural inquiry which would include natural philosophy, naturalism, technics, medicine, and husbandry, among others. I utilize three questions:
What was the role of the Pennsylvania Gazette in the 'popularization' and accessibility of science?
How did the Pennsylvania Gazette serve the interests of the public and of those doing science?
What was the image of natural philosophy that was promoted in the Pennsylvania Gazette?

The NAHSTE project, based at the University of Edinburgh and funded by the Research Support Libraries Programme (RSLP), was designed to open up a variety of outstanding collections of archives and manuscripts held at the three partner Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), and to make them fully accessible on the Web. The project also shows linkages to related records held by non-HEI collaborators
Welcome to the National Library of Medicine's Profiles in Science site!
This site celebrates twentieth-century leaders in biomedical research and public health. It makes the archival collections of prominent scientists, physicians, and others who have advanced the scientific enterprise available to the public through modern digital technology.
This new digital database has posted online the complete collection o manuscripts belonging to American biologists Marshall Nirenberg, Christian Anfinsen, Julius Axelrod, Martin Rodbell, Joshua Lederberg, and Oswald T. Avery. The site includes a brief self description and a useful engine that searches the entire digital archive. Researchers who do not find what they are looking for the first time through, may want to return again later as the National Library of Medicine continues to digitize and update its collections.

El origen de la Sociedad Mexicana de Historia de la Ciencia y la Tecnología (SMHCT) se encuentra asociado al Primer Coloquio Mexicano de Historia de la Ciencia (1963), organizado por el doctor Enrique Beltrán. Después de esta reunión, un grupo de historiadores de la ciencia encabezados por el doctor Beltrán y el doctor José Joaquín Izquierdo fundaron la SMHCT en 1964. De sus labores destaca la publicación de cinco volúmenes de la revista Anales de la SMHCT entre 1965 y 1979, y dos de la Memoria del Primer Coloquio.
What began as Henry W. Grout’s curiosity about the world has grown to become recognized as the region’s cornerstone of history, culture and sciences. Accredited by the American Association of Museums, this resource has grown to four unique properties, the Grout Museum of History & Science, Bluedorn Science Imaginarium, Rensselaer Russell House Museum, and the Snowden House. Explore the future of the district with the Sullivans Veterans Project.
This work is one of the most influential in history. The famous
phrase, "COGITO ERGO SUM" (I think, therefore I am) is a central
theme. Descartes' beliefs on that dual nature of mind and body,
and his emphasis on the role of doubt in all inquiry, formed the
basis for centuries of science and social thought.
