Wednesday, September 23, 2009, 8:00 pm EDT

Time: 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. Place: Jacobs Reading Room, Chemical Heritage Foundation, 315 Chestnut Street RSVP by September 18 In a continued effort to build collaborative events that highlight the unique consortium that is the Philadelphia Area Center for History of Science (PACHS), we wish to jointly extend an invitation to you to join us at the Chemical Heritage Foundation for a Fellows Reception on 23 September. The reception serves to welcome all 2009 - 2010 academic year fellows of PACHS and its member institutions. The opportunity will also afford the fellows a brief opportunity to describe their research focus. Collectively, we believe PACHS-member fellows reinforce Philadelphia as a major center for the study of history of science, medicine, and technology and we encourage you to meet these remarkable individuals and learn more about the great variety of topics that they are studying. Guided tours of CHF’s Museum will be conducted for interested guests.
