“Things are happening much faster and much slower,” says historian Rosalind Williams, because the “density of human presence on the planet speeds up environmental change and slows down political change,” creating a “viscosity” that makes history “work differently.” A panel moderated by Prof. Tom Levenson, Head, Writing and Humanistic Studies, and Director of the Graduate Program in Science Writing.<br />
