History of Science

Perhaps it should be added that the American Institute of Nutrition (AIN), alone among societies that are members of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB), has a Committee on the History of Nutrition, and also has published a two-volume, 1,162-page compilation of the biographies of 128 Founders of Nutrition Science, retrieved from their publication in the Journal of Nutrition over the past 62 years.
