DESCRIPTION:<p>One of Thomas Kuhn's most striking claims in <em>The Structure of Scientific Revolutions</em>&nbsp\;is that the version of the history of science that science students are taught -- and the public consumes &mdash\; is 'Orwellian'\, by which he meant that it is regularly rewritten so that the past is presented as eventuating in whatever turns out to be current research frontier. Although I have been mainly a strong critic of Kuhn's work\, I have always found this to be his most profound insight. In this talk\, I will explore several dimensions of this insight about how science relates to its history.&nbsp\;</p>
