350th Anniversary of the World’s First Scientific Journal

Brady Haran of Objectivity Videos visits Sir Paul Nurse, President of the Royal Society to discuss the Society’s “Philosophical Transactions” 350th anniversary: The world’s first scientific journal. So its first edition is from 1665.

It shows people’s curiosity, sharing information and having it reviewed both before and after publication, building on each other’s prior work, and so on. Different times, but good science.
