I feel deeply honoured to receive this year’s Susan Manning Postdoctoral Fellowship at IASH. It seems to be a scarcely believable accolade to someone who still feels a novice at trying to understand European history and culture. I was originally trained in the natural sciences, specializing in chemistry (in China). I then became interested in the history of Western science, and soon realized that I had to come to Europe to study these matters.
