Abstract While working in the chemistry laboratory at Johns Hopkins University, Constantin Fahlberg oxidized the 'ortho-sulfamide of benzoic acid' and, by chance, found the result to be incredibly sweet. Several years later, now working on his own, he termed this stuff saccharin, developed methods of making it in quantity, obtained patents on these methods, and went into production. As the industrial and scientific value of saccharin became apparent, Ira Remsen pointed out that the initial work had been done in his laboratory and at his suggestion. The ensuing argument, carried out in the courts of law and public opinion, illustrates the importance of the linear model to scientists who staked their identities on the model of disinterested research but who also craved credit for important practical results.

Ira Remsen、糖精和线性模型
摘要 在约翰霍普金斯大学化学实验室工作期间,康斯坦丁法尔伯格氧化了“苯甲酸的邻磺酰胺”,并偶然发现结果非常甜蜜。几年后,他现在独自工作,将这种东西称为糖精,开发了大量制造方法,获得了这些方法的专利,并投入生产。随着糖精的工业和科学价值越来越明显,Ira Remsen 指出,最初的工作是在他的实验室和他的建议下完成的。随后在法庭和公众舆论中进行的争论说明了线性模型对那些将自己的身份押在无私研究模型上但也渴望获得重要实际成果的赞誉的科学家的重要性。
