SOT Member John F. Rosen passed away on December 7. As noted in his obituary in the New York Times, his “discovery of high levels of lead poisoning among the New York City children he treated propelled him to campaign for a national effort to prevent the condition." He joined SOT in 1984 and was a member of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Regional Chapters and the Comparative and Veterinary Specialty Section. Dr. Rosen was the 1996 recipient of the SOT Arnold J. Lehman Award that is presented to recognize an individual who has made a major contribution to risk assessment and/or the regulation of chemical agents, including pharmaceuticals.
