Research information:

1) The history of science and technology is a broad one, but also specialized. My own expertise tends to the history of science and technology in Canada, the history of astronomy and physics, the history of river transportation, and the history of futuristic technologies. 2) Science-fiction as a literary genre has a long history, and I can discuss it knowledgeably with respect to its general evolution since Antiquity, its history in French, its history in English, and, of course, its writing.
