Catch Vera Keller on Jefferson Public Radio today, December 17, as she discusses the history of science and the history of curiosity itself. Listen live on the Jefferson Exchange at 8:00 a.m., or stream the recorded interview from the JPR website.

Vera Keller is primarily a historian of science of early modern Europe. She researches the origins of experimental science by looking at the intersections between technology, industry and political economy; craft and philosophy; sociability and science; and ideas of innovation, projects, and the public interest. In teaching the history of science, she refines her approach to the study of the history of curiosity.

JPR’s monthly “cUriOus: Research Meets Radio” segment is a continuing series that highlights research at the University of Oregon. You can listen to Keller’s interview and previous episodes from this series at www.ijpr.org/term/curious.
