The Inter-Union Commission for the History and Philosophy of Physics (IUCHPP) is organizing a symposium on Histories of Physics, with several sub-symposia sessions with specific foci, for the 27th International Congress of History of Science and Technology (ICHST) to be held on 29 June - 5 July 2025 in Dunedin, New Zealand (a hybrid conference).
H-PhysicalSciences provides a communication channel and resource nexus for historians of the physical sciences. Its topical scope covers the physical sciences broadly understood, including but not limited to: physics; chemistry; earth, space, and atmospheric science; astronomy; and materials science. By linking these fields, H-PhysicalSciences encourages active dialogue between scholars studying a diverse range of topics with the goal of galvanizing the community in a way that promotes integration with the larger discipline of history of science.

Storytelling as Pedagogy: Historical Biographies in STEM and Social Studies
In 2025, we’ll celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the development of quantum mechanics with the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. The American Journal of Physics will join the celebration with a special issue to kick off the year in January 2025. The IYQST not only marks 100 years since Erwin Schrödinger developed wave mechanics and Werner Heisenberg, Max Born, and Pascual Jordan developed matrix mechanics.
