Abstract
Building on documentation in his articles about Louis Pasteur and the fine arts, Hansen will present a new argument that Pasteur’s active efforts in the 1880s to gain publicity for his discoveries drew upon his experiences in the art world and had important effects on his scientific career and legacy.
