Hi, I’m George Borg. I am a historian and philosopher of science who investigates how scientific work is done, focusing on science as labor, instrumentation, and the social context that shapes progress. I earned my PhD in History and Philosophy of Science from the University of Pittsburgh in 2020 and have since been teaching and researching at the intersection of science, philosophy, and history, collaborating with institutions like IEEE and the Science History Institute. My work emphasizes how tools and practices generate new possibilities for inquiry, creating a feedback loop between knowledge production and instrument development. I employ a materialist perspective to explore how instrumentation, labor processes, and ideological conditions influence the trajectory of scientific discovery, with case studies drawn from 20th-century chemistry and the broader history of science.…Hi, I’m George Borg.
