Our department is pleased to announce that Professor Frank Zelko has recently received a Cain Senior Fellowship from the Chemical Heritage Foundation in Philadelphia, where he will be in residence in spring 2017. The CHF is an archive, library, and museum devoted to the history of chemistry, and the fellowship is also affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania’s History and Sociology of Science Department. Professor Zelko will be working on his next book project, which examines the political, cultural and scientific controversies that have surrounded water fluoridation in the U.S. and beyond over the past 70 years.
