Dr. Brian Pethica, currently adjunct senior research scientist at the Henry Krumb School of Mines (Columbia University, NY), was one of the principal Western investigators of polywater while heading the Unilever Research Laboratory near Liverpool (UK) and predicted at the time that chemists "would see polywater papers until the Navy's $4 million runs out."
