STS Special Lecture
Cell Culture in the Twentieth Century:
Microcinematography and the History of Biotechnology
Hannah Landecker
Rice University and Harvard University (Visiting)
3:30 pm, MIT, E51-275
(please note the starting time and location for this lecture)
Abstract:
Film technologies have been an important part of experimental
cytology in the twentieth century. This talk will address the
history of microcinematography and its role in biological
science. This history will also be used to propose new approaches to
a broader history of biotechnology, a nascent subfield of the history
of science and technology which to date lacks a coherent historiography.
