Open Ismael-KG opened 2 years ago

Title

Tuskegee Syphilis Study, Part II

Date or Period 📅

26-Jul 1972 (Heller, 1972).

Intro

Details of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study are leaked to the New York Times, leading to the end of the project.

Justification

A classic example of research conducted extremely poorly. This is a legacy story already on Tiki-Toki.

Unformed Thoughts

As per #127:

Part II currently touches on (i) the leak to the press of the disastrous study, and (ii) the impact of the study on modern attitudes towards medical science. The former might be interesting to help reflect on (i.i) whistleblowing and (i.ii) the importance of transparency towards a public that can be informative.
