This project is part of the ongoing conversation about engaging with the history and philosophy of science as "an effective and powerful addition to the mentoring toolkit to help graduate students and postdocs develop into better biologists, as well as transforming other areas of science education" as discussed in Alan Love's, Kostas Kampourakis's and Tobias Uller's Proceedings of the Royal Society B article, "A history and philosophy of science pathway to improving scientific mentoring."
