Reader Response REMEMBERING DUPREE

We like to hear your thoughts. Click below to send us your feedback.

As a graduate student, I never imagined my work in the history of industrial toxicology would result in a 30-year career helping to design, implement, and provide science advice on national environmental programs. But studies with Anderson Hunter Dupree (Obituaries, April/May, 2020) prepared me for the unexpected. Dupree brought his broad knowledge of the history of science and technology to students, launching their research on an almost impossibly wide range of topics. He viewed the history of science as integral to understanding the modern world. His path breaking book, Science in the Federal Government, documented how science interrelated with and strengthened American democracy and government. It serves as a reminder of what is possible when science and government work together.
