Isadora Monteiro is a PhD student in History and Philosophy of Science. In 2017, she completed her Bachelor's degree in General Studies (minor in Classics). And in 2022, she completed her Master's degree in HPS at the Faculty of Science (University of Lisbon) with the thesis "The forces that balance the universe: revisiting Robert Hooke", supervised by Professor Ricardo Coelho and she also published the paper "On Hooke's Rule of Nature", which focuses on the presentation of Hooke's Law (1678). In 2023 she co-authored the paper "From science communication to science education: the educational assessment of an outreach-oriented science centre" and she also published "The Blazing World or a woman's attempt to escape from her human condition". Currently, she has been awarded a scholarship in partnership with the Lisbon Academy of Sciences and the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology to pursue a Ph.D. Her research will investigate the emergence of the first telescopes in early modern Europe from a material point of view. Her current interests include HPS (Early Modern and Antiquity), science communication and material culture. She is also determined to pursue an academic career.
