Weird science at the Whipple
by Richard White | 20.06.17
So why does the Whipple Museum have a 1980s Scientology E-meter in its collection? Following on from our ‘Why is this here?’ (WTH?) live streaming series, we visited Josh Nall, Curator of Modern Sciences in the Whipple Museum of the History of Science, to find out.
The ‘WTH?’ series of live streams we ran across the University museums on Periscope and Facebook Live taught us many things about what makes a good watch. You can learn about some of those findings on the WTH? blog post. But rather than going there (save it for later), stay here. Stay here because following those WTH? experiments, we’ve decided to continue the streams with even more behind the scenes goodness.

But if you prefer a clean viewing experience, we extracted the film and put it on YouTube, here (partly because we promote these afterwards on Twitter, and not everyone on there wants to go to Facebook):
