Anne Ricculli
I teach undergraduate History of Science and Technology, Environmental History, and Public Health at Monmouth University, and previously taught biology and environmental science.
I present my research on the visualization of coral and coral reefs at conferences including History of Science Society (2016-2019), International Union of History and Philosophy of Science and Technology (2021) and the American Museum of Natural History. My current book project looks at the public understanding of the geology of coral in Victorian Britain.
