Hello.

Lost in the Footnotes is a blog of the odd stories you collect as you do more serious research. This space is meant to collect the sort of historical curiosities that an office full of historians regularly traffics in during coffee breaks.

I'm Cameron Lazaroff-Puck and I recieved a PhD in the History of Science and Technology from the University of Minnesota. I work on the history of theoretical physics and it’s relationship to industrial technology in the late 19th century. Occasionally I have also explored the government-led jet engine research in the United States.
