Associate Professor of History Gabriel Finkelstein’s essay "Paris or Berlin? Claude Bernard’s rivalry with Emil du Bois-Reymond" has been published in a special issue of History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences devoted to re-appraising Claude Bernard’s legacy. Finkelstein says, “I am honored to be the sole American scholar contributing to the issue. Bernard is something of a national hero in France: he was the first scientist in France to be awarded a state funeral, and his statue stands in the courtyard of the Collège de France, the country’s most prestigious academic institution.”
