Next edition of The Giant's Shoulders will be hosted by Stochastic Scribbles on April 16th. So, if you have History Of Science posts (or are just about to write one), please submit.

This month's Scientiae is about overcoming challenges: our worst moments, and how we survived them. I've had trouble deciding which story to tell. Field camp?
