Trust the science

[sparky]

In December 1960, twelve-year-old Howard Dully underwent one of the most controversial medical procedures of the 20th century: the transorbital lobotomy. His stepmother believed he suffered from schizophrenia, though few others agreed. Dr. Walter Freeman—known as the “father of the lobotomy”—carried out the surgery, with Howard’s father’s consent.
On December 16th, Howard was sedated with electroshock. Then, using a sharp tool called an orbitoclast, Freeman entered through each eye socket, breaking into the boy’s brain and “swirling” the instrument to sever connections in the frontal lobes. Howard awoke the next morning disoriented, feverish, and bruised. “I was like a zombie,” he later recalled, with no memory of the procedure that had just altered his life.
Although he survived, Howard’s childhood was shattered. He was removed from his family, spent years in institutions, group homes, and even prisons. He battled alcoholism, homelessness, and despair.
Decades later, in his 50s, Howard found the strength to confront his past. With NPR producer David Isay, he accessed Dr. Freeman’s archived notes and shared his story with the world. In 2007, he published My Lobotomy, a memoir that became a harrowing testament to human endurance.
Howard eventually built a steady life as a bus driver, husband, and father. But the question that haunted him remained:
“Why did my father let this happen?”

AI Overview



The phrase "trust the science" is an often-used mantra that has different meanings and evokes a range of opinions
. While it is sometimes used to mean that people should blindly accept scientific pronouncements, its more meaningful interpretation is an appeal to trust the scientific process itself as the best method for understanding the natural world.

Public trust in science remains high, but engagement is low

www.nsf.gov

Information in the report falls along three dimensions:

1. Public perceptions of science and technology
2. Public familiarity with science research processes
3. Public exposure to science information sources and activities

Man, I hate stories like that. We had a class discussion about a perv doctor named John Money. He was trying to turn a boy into a transsexual at an early age. It was revealed that Money was a homo just getting his jollies.

Money was perverting the kid and his twin brother. One boy committed suicide and the other died from a drug overdose. Sick bastard Money.
