CSHPS President’s Report Lesley Cormack, December 2014
How can the semester have flown past? We always start September sure that we will accomplish a long list of projects, and then get to December with many of them yet to be completed (or maybe that’s just me!).

“Brownian Motion 1”, Sylvia Nickerson, 2012. This is one of a series of paintings inspired by Albert Einstein’s miracle year of 1905. In this image, a graph exhibiting Brownian motion is superimposed on a laurel leaves pattern inspired by the textiles of late 19th century artist William Morris. Sylvia Nickerson completed her PhD in the history of science at the University of Toronto in 2014. She has also worked as a freelance illustrator for magazines and newspapers in Canada and the United States since 2005.

Objectivity in Science: What is it? Why does it matter? by Dani Hallet, MA Student, UBC
As recent controversies such as Climategate or the FDA panel of experts’ advice to withdraw approval of Avastin for breast cancer make clear, people care about the objectivity of science. The topic of scientific objectivity has occupied STS scholars for a very long time.
