Eventually, both men were able to determine that the clam's living environment also determined that if the bacteria was available and further found that the organisms could be killed if processed at 250 Â°F (121 Â°C) for ten minutes in a retort. 699:
By 1935, both Prescott and Proctor (now on the MIT faculty) decided that it was time to hold an international conference regarding this.

Prescott married Alice Chase (1884–1958) in June 1910 and remained married until her 1958 death. They had three children, Robert Sedgwick Prescott (1911-?), Samuel Chase Prescott (1912–1976), and Eleanor Prescott Clemence (1914-?) He also was an active writer both of technical
