Congratulations to Dr. Paul Foley
Congratulations to Dr. Paul B. Foley, who completed his doctoral dissertation in the Institute for the History of Medicine and the Faculty of Biology at the University of Würzburg (Germany) and was awarded his doctorate summa cum laude. The dissertation, "Beans, roots and leaves: the history of the pharmacological therapy of Parkinsonism," soon will be available as a (very large, he warns) PDF file on the University website for electronic dissertations: http://www.bibliothek.uni-wuerzburg.de/DISS/liste.html A print version should appear towards the end of this year. His most recent paper at an ISHN meeting was in Cologne last year: "Duboisia, the Australian belladonna".
