The Scientific Odyssey


The Scientific Odyssey is a podcast exploration of scientific inquiry through it's history and philosophy.  New episodes weekly.

Sep 25, 2016

This week we take a break from the scientific narrative to look at the events following the Protestant Reformation in the Holy Roman Empire.  We specifically discuss the Peace of Augsburg, The Inquisition, The Counter Reformation and the Thirty Years War before turning to a brief account of the life of Giordano Bruno and the German witch trials.
