From the organization formerly known as the Chemical Heritage Foundation, here in Philadelphia, comes a story that puts a very human face on a man whose name I knew only from his famous experiment. If you’re in Philly, be sure to visit the Science History Institute in Old City and support their mission:
The Science History Institute collects and shares the stories of innovators and of discoveries that shape our lives. We preserve and interpret the history of chemistry, chemical engineering, and the life sciences.
