What is a Science Historian?

Science historians study the history of natural science. Because science is a vast discipline, many science historians specialize in a particular area of science or time period. Yet more often than not, regardless of their area of specialization, a science historian typically holds a PhD in history or the history of science. Those who hold a master’s degree in the history of science typically work in museums or other non-academic settings.
