Wellcome Witnesses to Contemporary Medicine, vol. 63. London: Queen Mary University of London. CONTENTS Introduction E M Tansey v Acknowledgements E M Tansey vii Witness Seminar volume titles ix Contributors to Witness Seminars and interviews 1 Images 61 INTRODUCTION In 1997 we published the proceedings of our first four Witness Seminars in modern medicine, funded by the Wellcome Trust. Somewhat optimistically, we called this ‘volume 1’, hoping that we might get funding and support to develop the series at least into double figures. After twenty years of generous funding, we have now published 62 volumes, containing the proceedings of 70 or so seminars, all of which are made freely available on the web. The themes represented here were selected by a Programme Committee (until 2010) or were related to a Strategic Award from the Wellcome Trust (from 2010 until 2017). Topics cover the whole range of modern biomedicine: from clinical genetics to medical- and bio-technology; ethics to rural practice; pure lab research to clinical care; narrative medicine to neuroscience. Our meetings have attracted more than 1200 individuals who have contributed their recollections and comments, agreements and disagreements; several of them having contributed in multiple ways: attending or chairing a number of meetings, writing introductions to the published proceedings, providing commentaries and appendices. Additionally, we have conducted further interviews with more than 65 people, either on audio or video, and usually both. Most, but not all, of these interviewees, have been previous participants at one or more Witness Seminars, and we have used an in-depth interview to enlarge upon experiences and views expressed in those seminars, to develop broader contexts, and to explore individual experiences in more detail. As with the Witness Seminars, all these interviews have been transcribed and edited, and made freely available online; and a small selection has been further edited and published as Voices of Modern Biomedicine. One thing that emerges clearly from this work is that there is no such thing as ‘an ordinary life’, and we are enormously grateful to the many men and women who have trusted us with their memories, and contributed to one or both of our recording projects. We now conclude the published Witness Seminar series with a register of the many people who have taken part in our meetings. Firstly, there is an alphabetical list of all participants, with a reference to the meeting(s) to which they contributed or to their individual interview. Secondly, we provide v thumbnail portraits usually taken in the course of our Seminars or interviews. This list is not complete as not all participants were photographed, or provided copyright permission to use their images. Most portraits are available in colour at http://www.histmodbiomed.org/witsem/vol63.

    The Best Way to Assess the Degree of Civilization of Any Society Is To

    ALC037 Alcohol etc. (Scotland) Bill Forrester Cockburn Children and a Civilized Scottish Society The best way to assess the degree of civilization of any society is to examine the quality of care which that society provides for the health, welfare and education of its children. In order to achieve optimal child health, it is imperative that the mothers are healthy, understand the needs of their unborn and newborn children and have the appropriate environment for the safe delivery and rearing of their children within a supportive family and community. In Scotland increasing abuse of alcohol and other drugs has placed a large number of children at risk of poor health and born to fail. In this essay I shall concentrate on the risks to the unborn child and the infant after birth. Alcohol damage before birth Probably the first relevant scientific observations were made by Sullivan in 1899. He examined the results of 600 pregnancies of 120 alcoholic women in a Liverpool prison population and found that the infant mortality and stillbirth rate was two and a half times that of their non-alcoholic female relatives. He also showed that the forced abstinence of imprisonment improved the pregnancy outcome. There was parliamentary comment in the UK at that time but little further scientific evidence until the report from Lemoine et al in 1969 which described 127 children with characteristic facial abnormalities and poor growth. The same features were recognised in North America and Canada in the early 1970’s. Since then many other countries including Scotland have identified the problems now known as the fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) in the infants of mothers drinking alcohol during pregnancy.

    The Epistemology of Evidence in Cognitive Neuroscience1

The Epistemology of Evidence in Cognitive Neuroscience1 William Bechtel Department of Philosophy and Science Studies University of California, San Diego 1. The Epistemology of Evidence It is no secret that scientists argue. They argue about theories. But even more, they argue about the evidence for theories. Is the evidence itself trustworthy? This is a bit surprising from the perspective of traditional empiricist accounts of scientific methodology according to which the evidence for scientific theories stems from observation, especially observation with the naked eye. These accounts portray the testing of scientific theories as a matter of comparing the predictions of the theory with the data generated by these observations, which are taken to provide an objective link to reality. One lesson philosophers of science have learned in the last 40 years is that even observation with the naked eye is not as epistemically straightforward as was once assumed. What one is able to see depends upon one’s training: a novice looking through a microscope may fail to recognize the neuron and its processes (Hanson, 1958; Kuhn, 1962/1970).2 But a second lesson is only beginning to be appreciated: evidence in science is often not procured through simple observations with the naked eye, but observations mediated by complex instruments and sophisticated research techniques. What is most important, epistemically, about these techniques is that they often radically alter the phenomena under investigation.

Gregory died on May 17th at the age 24 of 86. While most of us remember him for his pioneering work in perception, he 25 had many other interests and accomplishments as well. Though I knew him only 26 late in his life, he always had a spark of boyish curiosity and enthusiasm. Gregory 27 had a way of cocking his head and looking down at his conversation partners; with 28 his height, he looked down at almost everyone, literally but never figuratively. He 29 must have been born tall—it’s impossible to imagine him any other way. 30 Gregory was born into an academic family. His father Christopher was the first 31 director of the University of London Observatory, and he attended a public school 32 (in North America, a private school). His education was interrupted by WWII, 33 during which he served in the signals branch of the Royal Air Force. Continuing on 34 the academic fast track, in 1947 he entered Downing College, Cambridge, studying 35 philosophy and experimental psychology, tutored by Bertrand Russell in the small 36 world of British academia at the time. After earning his degree in 1950, he stayed 37 in Cambridge to work at the Medical Research Council applied psychology unit 38 under Frederic Bartlett, one of Bartlett’s last students and, for Gregory, one of his 39 most treasured mentors.

    “One Medicine: the Continuum of Medicine, Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Science”. Bourne Lecture. 12th February 2007. St Georges Medical School , Grenada. Ian McConnell , Professor of Veterinary Science, Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Cambridge, England, United Kingdom. Introduction. Chancellor, Provost , Ladies and Gentlemen. Thank you , Provost, for your generous introduction. It is indeed an honour to be invited to give this years Bourne lecture in memory of Geoffrey Bourne . Geoffrey Bourne , your first Vice Chancellor who as an educator and scientist who had the vision to create here in this marvellous country of Grenada a most remarkable medical school which later evolved under the leadership of Keith Taylor, as Vice Chancellor, into what is today- a thriving and confident young University. St George’s University is an internationally recognised institution of higher education which has set a dynamic global perspective and can rightly claim to be a stratgically important landmark of learning in the West Indies. In this lecture I am going to address the topic of “ One Medicine”. I have chosen this as a topic because it seems appropriate to the St. George’s Medical School and the close relationship it has with the veterinary school. The development of the veterinary school owes much to the foresight and drive of Peter Bourne, who as Vice Chancellor, fostered the development of veterinary medicine. In the long history of both the Medical and the Veterinary Professions and the education of undergraduates in both there has always been a healthy interaction between medicine, veterinary medicine as well as biomedical science. The co-location of a medical school with a veterinary school which you have here is one way to promote this interaction .

This alone makes it a suitable subject for a Witness Seminar but there are others that increase its value, notably the fact that a high proportion of the critical advances took place in the UK; not just the basic scientific research, but also the initial applications in clinical practice, particularly those involving inherited disorders. To see these topics discussed by the people who were actually involved in their creation makes fascinating reading; for myself it is tinged with regret at having been unable to attend and contribute to the seminar, but with some compensation from being able to look at the contributions more objectively than can a participant.
