- <b><font color="#aa0000">Who is Edward Tenner?</font></b>
- <P>
- "I started as an historian and took a degree in European
- Social and Intellectual History at Princeton University. At the
- time I was not really terribly aware of new technology.
- <P>
- Like many others I couldn't get a job in my specialty so I took
- a job in scientific publishing. At first I didn't think I was
- very well trained for this. But one of the things I learned from
- leaving academia was that you don't have to follow a series of
- prerequisites in order to do something. After working on a book
- with one of my teachers, I discovered that the history of science
- and technology is part of general history and I wanted to explore
- that some more. After working with another colleague on some papers
- on healthcare, I began to see some of the paradoxes that come
- with the improvement of treatment.
- <P>
- I became more and more interested in paradox and especially the
- paradox that Europeans conquered the world not so much by the
- force of arms, but by disease they were carrying that for complex
- epidemiological reasons was devastating to the people they encountered.
- <P>
- Today Edward Tenner holds a visiting research appointment in
- the Department of Geological and Geophysical Sciences at Princeton
- University.
