The year got off to a busy start. In January I presented a dissertation-related talk at the American Catholic Historical Association Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C., titled Cattell’s Catholics: Who were these American Men of Science? In February I participated in the 4th JSPS Multidisciplinary Science Forum in Washington D.C. (back again). April saw me at the Midwest Junto for the History of Science at Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri, with four other grad students from my department.
