My name is Rebekah Higgitt. I am a senior lecturer in history of science at the University of Kent, was a curator at Royal Museums Greenwich (2008-2013) and was a Co-Investigator on a project with the Museum and University of Cambridge on the history of the Board of Longitude, 1714-1828. I am author of Recreating Newton: Newtonian Biography and the Making of Nineteenth Century History of Science (Pickering Chatto, 2007), co-author with Richard Dunn of Finding Longitude (Collins, 2014) and editor of Maskelyne: Astronomer Royal (Hale, 2014). I was a blogger for the Guardian Science Blogs Network.
