For the next event in our Lyne Starling Trimble public event series, on Friday, December 4 Melinda Baldwin will present, “The Surprisingly Short History of Peer Review.” Baldwin is the AIP Endowed Professor in History of Natural Sciences at the University of Maryland, and her talk will draw from her new book, In Referees We Trust? How Peer Review Became a Mark of Scientific Legitimacy. To attend in person, register today!

The next deadline for applications for AIP grants-in-aid in support of research on the history of the physical sciences is November 15, 2026. Applicants may request funding of up to $3,000 for travel to visit archives or conduct oral history interviews or to cover other research expenses. November 15 is also the deadline for applications to participate in the next AIP Early-Career Conference for Historians of the Physical Sciences, which will take place in Toronto, Canada from June 21 to June 25, 2027. Funding to defray travel expenses will be available.
