  • Originally published in 2005 For two weeks of March, 2000, in the vast jungle along Mexico’s southern border with Belize, I joined a team of biologists and hounds in chasing and capturing a wild jaguar. I was in Mexico as a Fulbright Scholar. It took…

    to the creatures they study so intimately. The jaguar we fitted with the radio collar will disappear in the biological studies produced from the research. With the data from several collared jaguars, a statistical composite of the jaguar in the area—the jaguar as species—will be constructed. Important information, to be sure. Yet as one researcher told me, studying another tropical species, the composite portrait describes the creature as type, “a platonic animal,” to use her words. Because it

For your program, Marc, there were faculty from History, Sociology, Economics, and Anthropology involved!” Michael: “Matt, can you tell readers how you got started with your business history project?” Matt: “Sure—It began with my shared interests in History and Economics. In this case, you were my faculty adviser, Dr. Halvorson, so when you described your current research on the early history of personal computing, I was intrigued. The topic that
