This month marks the fifth anniversary of Multiversity’s history column. To make it easier for you to browse the 300+ historical events covered in past articles, I’ve created an index and organized it chronologically, and I’ll keep it updated as new articles are released. When an article focuses on a specific topic across several years, it will be listed separately at the top.
