Anna Speyart is a PhD candidate in history of science at Princeton University and works on early modern scientific culture in Europe. Her research focuses on the history of ice and snow in early modern Europe and traces the trajectories of these ephemeral products from harvest to use in scientific, medical, and consumer contexts.

At MAP, she will research the history of the Florentine cold network in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
