Hello Historians, our next Extra History theme is For SCIENCE!

Science: the thing that’s saved us… and will probably destroy us. Scientific innovation has changed our world in incalculable ways, from ushering in the era of flight, to modern pharmaceuticals, timekeeping, and chemistry. For this vote, we’ll be looking at topics that either deal with the history of science—the development of alchemy into chemistry for instance—or that profile famous or influential scientists. If you’ve been waiting for a series on Marie Curie, Isaac Newton this is the time to pitch it! Note that we will be interpreting “science” broadly, so feel free to pitch topics that predate the Enlightenment and deal with things like Medieval science, Ibn al-Haytham, Aristotle, and Francis Bacon.

You can enter YOUR suggestions for the topic HERE in this form.

Some notes about suggestions:

Suggestions should feature content before the 1930s
If a suggestion we encounter only has enough research material/production scope for a one-off episode instead of a full series, we file it in a separate list to reference later when we are planning to schedule a one-off episode between series (this is true for every survey we do).
Only one suggestion per person, please! Multiple suggestions from the same person during any given survey period will be manually removed. Extra History Suggestion Survey is OPEN until 11/27.

We can't wait to read all your suggested topics!
