    William R. Newman is Distinguished Professor and Ruth N. Halls Professor in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science and Medicine at Indiana University. Most of Newman’s work in the History of Science has been devoted to alchemy and "chymistry," the art-nature debate, and matter theories, particularly atomism. His most recent monograph is Newton the Alchemist: Science, Enigma, and the Quest for Nature’s “Secret Fire” (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2019).  Newman is also General Editor of the Chymistry of Isaac Newton, an online resource combining born-digital editions of Newton’s alchemical writings with multimedia replications of Newton’s alchemical experiments. Newman is on the editorial boards of Archimedes, Early Science and Medicine, and Ambix.

Her publications include the monographs Controlled Experiments (Cambridge University Press, forthcoming 2024), About Method. Experimenters, Snake Venom, and the History of Writing Scientifically (University of Chicago Press, 2017) and The Microscope and the Eye: A History of Reflections, 1740–1870 (University of Chicago Press, 2007) She has been a member of the Wissenschaftskolleg (Berlin, Germany 2024-2025), the Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton, NJ, 2007-2008 and 2017-2018), of the National Humanities Center (Research Triangle Park, NC, 2011).
