BSLS members will remember Professor Sharon Ruston’s excellent plenary lecture on Davy at our 2016 conference in Birmingham. Sharon’s new 4-week MOOC, Humphry Davy: Laughing Gas, Literature, and the Lamp, starts on 30 October. The course draws on her research as co-editor of Davy’s Collected Letters and her work on Romantic-era literature and science, and is free.
