Peter Galison has a long-standing interest in exploring the intersection between film and science. He regularly teaches courses that join scholarship with filmmaking, including “Scientific Sites,” and “Technological Lands.” With [Robb Moss,](http://www.ves.fas.harvard.edu/moss.html) Harvard College Professor and Chair of the Department of Art, Film, and Visual Studies (AFVS), he teaches "Filming Science,” which explores what print and film reveal and conceal about science, technology and medicine.
