~e; EM scientific-instrumentations

[human being <human@electronetwork.org>]

  [have been trying not to forward the regular calls
  and conferences and events info, as most of it is
  tertiary, and most of it, is on lists where people
  who are most related to the announcement can find it.
  yet, sometimes there is one that crosses boundaries,
  and thus it is being sent not for its temporal event,
  as few would likely be able to participate, yet, its
  content is quite unique and thus here it is, as the
  idea of early EM devices and instruments are of great
  interest, especially when seen as working artifacts
  of ideas upon which today's society is based. ~e.org]
