“It’s Rabbits and Frogs All the Way Down!”
March 29th 2022
We talk about the TRU Makerspace, the history of makerspaces, and reflect on 18th century theories of a mechanical universe (among other things).
Now featuring Michelle’s voice!
Ben: Just a correction, I misspoke when talking about the British Association for the Advancement of Science (BAAS). The BAAS was not criticized by working class participants in mechanics institutes. It was the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, which you can read more about here: https://www.oxforddnb.com/view/10.1093/ref:odnb/9780198614128.001.0001/odnb-9780198614128-e-59807
