SYNTHESIS
Announcing the arrival of an exciting publishing opportunity for undergraduates in the history of science.
A group of Harvard students has created a new journal called Synthesis. They solicit submissions from history and history of science departments all across the country, including Cornell, Stanford, Princeton, U.C Berkeley, Johns Hopkins, the University of Pennsylvania, and others. Synthesis aims not only to provide an exciting chance for undergraduates to be published, but also to unite students interested in the history of science nationwide.
