It was another busy year for the Department of History and Philosophy of Science and many of the main activities were to do with people and staffing, highlighting the fact that it is the people who make the Department a success. Liba Taub was successful in her application for promotion to Professor and Tim Lewens was successful in his application for promotion to Reader, and we would like to congratulate them both on their new positions which commence in October 2010. During the course of the year Hasok Chang was appointed as the Department’s Rausing Professor, taking up the post previously held by Peter Lipton. Hasok joined the Department in September 2010 and we would like to extend our warm welcomes to him.
