Dear all,

I was just spreading the word. Independently of my own views, I was not

committee were:

History and Philosophy of Science

Maria Carla Galavotti (Chair), Universit? di Bologna (IT)
Christopher Cullen, Needham Research Institute, Cambridge (UK)
Jaroslav Folta, National Technical Museum, Praha (CZ)
Juho Sihvola, University of Helsinki (FI)
