scientific fair: March 2009
http://scientificfair.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, 14 March 2009. How much research is enough? Pride ourselves on finding arcane objets of science and medicine, and on researching them thoroughly. But we feel our research is always incomplete; rarely can we even answer of the journalist's six basic questions: "WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY, and HOW". Secondly we have a fascinating level, described as follows:. This is a splendid example of early level, probably made for setting elevation (or depression) of a cannon . Bion (1709) shows a simil...

scientific fair: Laennec. Provenance and Gandhi's Sandals
http://scientificfair.blogspot.com/2009/04/laennec-provenance-and-gandhis-sandals.html
Thursday, 9 April 2009. Laennec. Provenance and Gandhi's Sandals. Many doctors before had placed their ear to the chest of their patient to listen for sounds to aid their diagnosis and surely Laennec was not the first to be embarrassed in this situation. We'd like to hear from any exhibitor at the Scientific Fair who will be bringing an instrument to sell with an interesting provenance. Posted by Fletcher Wallis. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

scientific fair: The exchange rate is looking good!
http://scientificfair.blogspot.com/2009/03/exchange-rate-is-looking-good.html
Wednesday, 11 March 2009. The exchange rate is looking good! The exchange rate is looking pretty good at the moment for our colleagues in the USA who are thinking of coming over for the fair in April, in fact, almost the best its been since records began, except for almost parity in 1985. I can remember almost selling out of stock at this time but when I went to replace it I suddenly found all the prices had gone up! The sale is with Philip Weiss Auctions. Highlights will include a previously unrecorded ...

scientific fair: 515 Leeuwenhoek microscopes still not accounted for.
http://scientificfair.blogspot.com/2009/04/515-leeuwenhoek-microscopes-still-not.html
Wednesday, 8 April 2009. 515 Leeuwenhoek microscopes still not accounted for. It might be worth them looking through their own boxes of laboratory impedimenta to see if they can find them. Anyway that still leaves over 515 for the rest of us to find.Good hunting! Posted by Fletcher Wallis. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). David and Yola Coffeen. Thom and Vincent Nelis.
