The next on-line seminar of the Society for the History of Alchemy and
Chemistry, which we are running due to the continuing Covid crisis, will be
given by Dr Carolyn Cobbold, University of Cambridge, on ‘A Rainbow
Palate’. 


This will be live on Zoom on Tuesday 3 November beginning at 5pm GMT (6pm CET,
12 noon EST, 9am PST). The format will be a talk of 20-30 minutes, followed by
a moderated discussion of half an hour. Anyone, member of SHAC or not, may
register to attend the seminar by e-mailing meetings at ambix.org; a link to the
seminar will be sent the day before. (If having registered you do not receive a
link please check your junk folder). 


A Rainbow Palate - chemists, colour and consumption  

Carolyn Cobbold 

Drawing from research for her recently published book A Rainbow Palate - How
Chemical Dyes Changed the West's Relationship with Food, SHAC's Carolyn Cobbold
will discuss how dye and food producers sought public support and approbation
from chemists for the widespread use of synthetic chemicals in food, despite
concern among some chemists that their new chemical substances had not been
created for use in food.
