Michael Gordin is an associate professor in the History Department at Princeton. He teaches the history of science and Russian history. He is the author of a wonderful book on Mendeleev called A Well-Ordered Thing: Dmitri Mendeleev and the Shadow of the Periodic Table.
He also has just recently written and released a book of something entirely different: Five Days in August: How World War II Became a Nuclear War. Michael is currently working on an international history of the development of the first Soviet nuclear bomb in 1949, and he is also working on a book on the development of nationalism in Russian and German chemistry in the mid-19th century.

He is spending the academic year in Berlin, at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science; so although he teaches at Princeton, he’s jet-lagged like our other international speakers. Michael. [Applause] [1:28]
Michael Gordin: Can everybody hear me
