Linda Deer Richardson’s academic career was transatlantic. She discovered an interest in history of ideas during an undergraduate course at Rice University, and pursued history of science and medicine as a major part of her honours course at the University of Oxford. She first encountered Jean Fernel during a master’s course at Princeton University, and completed her thesis in 1980 as a student at the Warburg Institute of the University of London. Since then she has worked in museums, colleges and publishing as an educator.
