Noah took his BA in English at Clare College, Cambridge in 2004, before coming to CELL to study for the MRes in 2006-07. His PhD, supervised by Professor Lisa Jardine and funded by the AHRC, examined the administrative culture and publishing activity of the Royal Society in the late 17th Century as factors in the wider emergence of scientific institutionality. His current research interests include the scientific exchanges and rivalries between London and the provinces in the early modern period, and the political and disciplinary conflicts that shaped them. He is convening the textual scholarship and archival skills module for this year's MRes at CELL, and acting as network facilitator for the Leverhulme-funded Early Modern News Networks project at the University of East Anglia.
