An item in Vol. 310 (October 14, 2005) of Science notes Harvard School of Public Health's award to unscientific activist Erin Brockovich but also notes the reaction of ACSH's Dr. Elizabeth Whelan and others:
But Harvard physicist Richard Wilson, who has studied arsenic poisoning in Bangladesh, objects: "If you have the dean saying that this harmed the residents of Hinkley, that's false." And Elizabeth Whelan, an HSPH alumnus and president of the American Council on Science and Health, who is boycotting the ceremony, says there's no evidence that ingesting chromium-6 causes cancer.
