Following the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, this podcast takes a closer look at an often-overlooked aspect of America's Founding Fathers: many of them were accomplished scientists as well as statesmen. While Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson are widely recognized for their scientific achievements, they were far from alone. Join Don Sullivan and Jersey Steve as they explore the brilliant minds of the Age of Enlightenment who not only helped create the United States but also made lasting contributions to the history of science.
