Curriculum
Carla Rita Palmerino (Ph.D. in the History of Science, University of Florence, 1998) wrote a dissertation on Pierri Gassendi’s defense of Galilean mechanics and cosmology (“Atomi, meccanica, cosmologia. Le lettere galileiane di Pierre Gassendi.”). Her current work concerns seventeenth-century theories of motion and of the composition of the continuum (cf. Selected Publications). Together with J.M.M.H. Thijssen, she organized a conference on the “Reception of the Galilean Science of Motion in Europe” (Amsterdam, Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, July 2000), the proceedings of which will be published in the “Boston Studies in the Philosophy of Science.” She has an ongoing collaboration with the “Istituto e Museo di Storia della Scienza” in Florence, for which she is preparing a database of Galileo’s experiments. In July 2001, she was awarded the “Borsa di studio Antonio Ruberti per ricerche su Metodi, Modalità e Strumenti di Diffusione della Cultura Scientifica.”
