"In February 1995, working in conjunction with nutritionists at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, I adopted a super fiber-rich diet which allowed me to successfully produce a single extruded excrement the exact length of my colon: 26 feet. I documented the extrusion at the Cranbrook-Kingswood High School Bowling Alley, Bloomfield Hills, MI, which offered a length of floor suitable for the process and measuring the results. The cathartic diet was supplemented by a high intake of Metamucil fiber substance. The weeklong endurance prior to the event was ensured by the employment of a plug specifically designed to curtail any premature excretions."

In February 1995, artist and strange person Myranda Didovic, working in conjunction with nutritionists at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, took a crap that measured 26 feet in length.

The objective of these programs is to train students to examine the development of science from a wide variety of perspectives through a course of study that will enable the candidate to lay a broad and sufficient foundation for teaching and research in various areas of the history of the natural and social sciences, behavioral and brain sciences, technology, mathematics, medicine, and allied health. In addition to courses in history, history of science, and the sciences, related work is often selected from fields such as philosophy, government, literature, sociology, law, and public policy. Courses from the Program on Science, Technology, and Society at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology may be taken by cross-registration.

In the history of science program the methods of historical research are employed to explore the genesis and evolution of the sciences and to analyze the growth of science as part of the intellectual and social experience of humankind. Science is its subject and history its method. To pursue advanced work in the field, therefore, it is desirable to have some preliminary training in the natural and social sciences and in history.

Students in the doctoral program are eligible for financial support administered under the direction of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, as described in the application for admissions and in Financing Graduate Study. Harvard grants are awarded for the first and second years primarily on the basis of financial need as determined by the Graduate School at the time of application. Ordinarily, living stipend support is limited to the first two years, including summer support, and tuition grants are limited to five years. After the completion of two years in residence, candidates for the PhD degree in history of science ordinarily are eligible for appointments as teaching fellows in the history of science to serve as tutors in the undergraduate program of history and science. A candidate may also lead discussion sections in departmental courses and courses given under the Committee on the Core Program. In latter years, students become eligible for awards to support dissertation research and writing. Applicants are encouraged to apply for non-Harvard fellowships, such as those offered by the National Science Foundation, the Jacob Javits Fellowship Program, and the Mellon Foundation.

Students in the master's program must show the capacity to finance themselves without University help.

Master of Arts (AM)
This program is suitable for postbaccalaureate students in other disciplines and professions who wish advanced training in the history of science. It also is appropriate for students who are advanced degree candidates in foreign universities.

Academic Residence " The minimum residence requirement is one year of full-time study (eight half-courses or equivalent). Of the four full courses required, the student must include the half-course Methods Seminar (History of Science 200), two half-course seminars in the history of science, one half-course seminar in history, and two additional half-courses in the history of science. The remaining two half-courses may be chosen from offerings in science, history, the history of science, or other related fields. An average of B must be maintained throughout the year.

Languages " A reading knowledge of a foreign language other than English is required. All students will be expected to take the language examination in October of the year of their admission.

Essay " An essay of 20-30 pages, on a subject to be determined in consultation with the student's advisor, must be submitted to the department toward the end of the second term, but no later than the last day of Reading Period. A paper written for a seminar may be expanded for this requirement.

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Prerequisites for Admission " Undergraduate training should ordinarily include courses in history and a major or strong minor in natural science. Any student who, in the opinion of the department, has not had sufficient scientific or historical preparation will be required to make up this deficiency by appropriate course work, which may be counted toward fulfillment of the residence requirement. The GRE General Test is required.

Academic Residence " The minimum residence requirement is two years of full-time study (16 half-courses or equivalent of which ordinarily a maximum of four may be reading courses in the history of science or history). A candidate who maintains a record of high distinction in the first year at Harvard may petition for academic credit of up to eight half-courses for graduate work of high quality done at another institution, provided these courses are in accepted fields. During the first year at Harvard the candidate must pass four full courses, with an average grade of B or above. These courses must include: the half-course Methods Seminar (History of Science 200), one half-course seminar in history and at least two half-course seminars and two half-course offerings in the history of science. When an appropriate history seminar is not available, a course in history may be substituted with the express permission of the department. In exceptional cases students may petition the department for permission to defer taking one of the required two seminars until the second year.

Program of Study " Studies for the PhD are thought of in terms of fields rather than merely in terms of courses. In addition to acquiring a competence in one field of history, each candidate is expected to become generally familiar with the whole subject of the history of science and to attain a demonstrable mastery both of the history of a single scientific discipline (e.g., chemistry, mathematics, physics, astronomy, geology, zoology, botany, health sciences, medicine, experimental psychology, or anthropology) and of either the history of the science of a particular epoch or the relations of science with, for example, society, technology, philosophy, or religion. Consistent with these aims, students are free to pursue graduate study of a scientific field (for residence credit).

Students must plan both their course distribution requirements and the "fields of study" that they intend to submit for the general examination. Study programs, courses, seminars, and fields of study are selected in consultation with the faculty advisor assigned to the student at the beginning of the first year of residence. By the end of the first term, but not later than the end of the second term of residence, all students must give their advisor a written plan for fulfilling the department's requirements. At the end of the first year, and periodically thereafter, the student's program, including written work, is reviewed by the department, and a determination is made of the student's qualification for continuing graduate work.

Course Distribution Requirements " In consultation with the advisor, a student's plan of study for fulfilling the requirements is established.

Four half-courses must fulfill the following distribution requirements:

Ordinarily, one-half course (usually taught by members of the department) must be taken in two of the following areas:

Ancient Science
Medieval (Arabic/Latin) Science
Early Modern Science
Ordinarily, one-half course (usually taught by members of the department) must be taken in two of the following areas:

History of the Social Relations of Science
History of the Modern Life/Health Science
History of the Modern Physical Sciences
All or part of these requirements may be waived if a student can present an equivalent preparation successfully completed elsewhere.

Languages " A good reading knowledge of two foreign languages is required. Ordinarily these languages are French and German. However, by petition one alternate language may be substituted. The student's proficiency is tested by written examinations or as otherwise specified by the department. As a rule, the student is expected to pass one language examination prior to the end of the first year of residency and the second language examination prior to the end of the second year of residency. The department will not accept an application to take the general examination until the student has completed the first language requirement and will not approve the dissertation proposal until the second language requirement has been met.

Teaching " As part of the program that prepares students for careers in teaching and research, the department requires each student to participate as a teaching fellow or course assistant in courses offered by a member of the department faculty.

General Examination " The General Examination, which is oral, will ordinarily be taken at the end of the fourth term. Prior to scheduling the General Examination, the student must submit for departmental approval an application to take the examination.

No encyclopedic command of detail is expected. Rather, the general exam committee will seek evidence of an understanding of the main intellectual developments within a branch of science, familiarity with the chief historiographic traditions associated with a particular content area, and the ability to set a particular branch of science within its institutional, political, and social contexts.

The General Examination will ordinarily include the following three fields:

The history of a recognized scientific discipline (e.g., astronomy, botany, chemistry, physics, psychology, etc.) during an interval covering at least two recognized historical periods (e.g., the history of physics from Aristotle to Newton, the history of biology from the Renaissance to Darwin).
Selected topics that bring the history of science into constructive dialogue with other theoretical traditions in the social sciences (e.g., sociology, anthropology, cultural studies) or topics that address relations between the history of science and "other" histories (e.g., science and religion, science and philosophy).
One field of history as conventionally understood, to be chosen from the list of accepted fields for the General Examination given by the Department of History (i.e., United States Since 1789; Germany Since 1740).
Note: In special circumstances, the philosophy of science, history of philosophy, sociology of science, medical anthropology, or advanced laboratory studies in a natural science itself can be substituted for the history field.

Dissertation " After passing the General Examination, generally in the fifth term, a candidate for the doctorate is required to submit to the department a dissertation proposal. The proposal should follow the departmental Dissertation Proposal Guidelines. The student should discuss a draft of the proposal with the intended dissertation advisor at least one month prior to submitting it to the director of graduate studies. In conjunction with her or his advisor, the student selects a prospectus committee, which gives its recommendation for the department's approval. The names of faculty members ordinarily available for the direction of the doctoral dissertation are listed in the course catalogue under History of Science 300. The dissertation director is assigned by the faculty of the department in consultation with the student.

Work for the degree must be completed within a total of five years, or in certain fields where additional preparation is necessary, a total of six years. An extension is considered only upon submission of a petition to the department, showing just cause.

Advising " A student entering the program is assigned a preliminary, primary advisor (the individual most likely to serve as dissertation director post-generals), who serves as the primary front-line advising resource for the student during the first two, and sometimes three, terms. In addition, all first year doctoral candidates will be assigned a continuing graduate student (post-generals) who will act as a peer mentor during the first year, helping the candidate to acclimatize to departmental expectations and routines.

Once the fields for generals have been set, the three persons who will be working with the student to prepare her or him for the exams are consolidated into a formal Generals Advising Committee. The coordinator of graduate studies, working with the student and primary advisor, will generally arrange for this committee to meet once with the student, generally some four-six weeks before the actual exam; outside examiners will have been informed by the department chair of this requirement at the beginning of the generals process. Following the successful completion of the generals exam, the committee will no longer meet, but will generally remain available as a collective resource until the dissertation prospectus, overseen by the primary advisor, has been completed.

When the student's dissertation proposal has been approved by the full faculty (following a vetting by a three-person ad hoc committee), a Dissertation Advising Committee will be set up. This will generally consist of the primary advisor/dissertation director and at least two additional dissertation consultants. Together, these three individuals act as a collective intellectual resource for the student.


In addition, there is an expectation that the student will meet with each member of the committee, as convenient, each term and that the committee as a whole will meet with the student once each year to review progress until the student submits the dissertation. The annual meeting schedule can be modified at the student's request, if a student is doing research abroad, or if other circumstances dictate a different rhythm of review.

Qui in questo forum ho notato la presenza di commercialisti,editorialisti,manager e uomini che fanno viaggiare e che smistano beni di capitali a giro per il mondo e mi sono chiesto se tra gli astanti vi potevano essere anche dermatologi o più semplicemente farmacisti. Vi espongo il quesito,tempo fa andai in farmacia dietro casa mia dove chiesi "100 gr di permetrina al 5%", il commesso mi disse che aveva solo quella in crema in tubetto al 25% e che quindi doveva diluirla, morale della favola tornai a prendere il preparato a sera e spesi per 100gr una cifra intorno ai 75 euro. Oggi ho preso la stessa permetrina a una farmacia prossima a un ospedale( non so se questo c'entri qualcosa) e l'ho pagata 8 euro! quasi dieci volte meno. Premetto che era già  preparata alla percentuale del 5% in confezioni da 200 gr e quindi ho speso una cifra intorno ai 16 euro. Morale della favola come è possibile una differenza di ben 10 volte superiore? mi informeró quando posso tramite medico ed altre farmacie, ma mi sembra il caso di dire che è un episodio all'itaGliana!
