DESCRIPTION:Inspired moments of discovery are widely seen as the central s
 tory of science. Great discoveries are often assumed to involve a single m
 oment of insight\, made by an individual genius working in isolation. How 
 did this view of discovery become established? The most common expression 
 associated with scientific discovery in the European tradition is 'Eureka'
 \, meaning 'I have found it’. This talk uses the history of 'Eureka' to 
 chart changing views of discovery and its role within science.
