London – Hough, Khan and Pfadnis Get Together

Abstract

It cannot be over-emphasized that the experiments that were being done in Professor Jones’ lab at Queen’s University in Canada, were totally unrelated to Splenda, because Splenda and sucralose, its sweet ingredient, were not known at the time. The experiments were not target-oriented in any way – if one excludes the wistful premise that a pesticide would result from these excursions. Such a hope-for–the-best project is extolled as involving “pure” research, which is not to say that it is useless, because such “pure” projects are frequently the lodestones of new discoveries in the hands of enterprising scientists.
