Non-penicillin activities of Prof. Sheehan[edit]

I knew him somewhat at MIT and he talked about his work in explosives as well as penicillin. Here are some references to his explosives work that might encourage someone more expert in the field to add such details:

There were people at MIT who thought he had some involvement in chemical weapons projects but it was never clear if there was any truth to that because the subject was highly classified at the time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mjmarcus (talk • contribs) 19:34, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
