The Light Ages: A Medieval Journey of Discovery (Penguin, 2020). (many available to download from Seb's website) Taking a comparative approach between case studies from China, the Islamic world and Latin Christendom, I am trying to evaluate the intellectual connections across Eurasia at the turn of the first millennium, and to show how deeply rooted scientific ideas were in the cultures that gave rise to them. My next research project attempts a global perspective of the natural sciences in the year 1000. I have been a Research Fellow at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Girton College, an AHRC-funded curatorial intern at the Whipple Museum, a BBC New Generation Thinker, and have served as an independent expert to the Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art. It was shortlisted for the Hughes Prize of the British Society for the History of Science. My first book, The Light Ages, was published in 2020. I am particularly interested in how sciences were studied and practised by non-experts, as well as the relationships between science and religion, and science and literature. I research the medieval mathematical sciences. Email: sldf2 interests: History of astronomy, late medieval sciences, scientific instruments and history of the book in the Middle Ages
