    Consortium for History of Science, Technology and Medicine Annual Report 2018-2019 CONSORTIUM FOR HISTORY OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND MEDICINE As I step down after six years as Chair of the Board, I want to take the opportunity to reflect on the honor of serving the Consortium during this time of tremendous change. In my time as chair, we chose a new name to reflect our new reach and geographical range (though admittedly many still called us PACHS for a while….). We gained new institutional members including professional societies. We engaged new donors and created new fellowships. We matched our NEH Challenge Grant and established an endowment. And we expanded our public outreach in novel and promising ways. Those are just a few of the highlights. It has been a time of recurring and spirited discussions relating to size, goals, outreach, membership, fees, budgets, advocacy, and leadership. It has been a time of thinking strategically about the future of this institution, which is increasingly seen as central to our academic field. Many years ago Marty Levitt, who more or less singlehandedly dreamed up the idea of PACHS, pointed out to me that there were people in institutions across Philadelphia who had profound stakes in the history of science, medicine and technology, with whom I probably never interacted. We all worked within a few miles of each other, and all cared deeply about museums, archives, collections and scholarship in the history of science, technology and medicine. He thought it was time for us to start working together to build and support the field.

  • Teratology Transformed: Uncertainty, Knowledge, and Cjonflict Over Environmental Etiologies of Birth Defects in Midcentury America
    Teratology Transformed: Uncertainty, Knowledge, and CJonflict over Environmental Etiologies of Birth Defects in Midcentury America TV Heather A. Dron DISSERTATION Submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in History of Health. Sciences in the GRADUATE DIVISION of the UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA. SAN FRANCISCO Copyright 2016 by Heather Armstrong Dron ii Acknowledgements Portions of Chapter 1 were published in an edited volume prepared by the Western Humanities Review in 2015. iii Abstract This dissertation traces the academic institutionalization and evolving concerns of teratologists, who studied environmental causes of birth defects in midcentury America. The Teratology Society officially formed in 1960, with funds and organizational support from philanthropies such as the National Foundation (Later known as The March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation). Teratologists, including Virginia Apgar, the well-known obstetric anesthesiologist and inventor of the Apgar Score, were soon embroiled in public concerns about pharmaceutically mediated birth defects. Teratologists acted as consultants to industry and government on pre-market reproductive toxicology testing for pharmaceuticals. However, animal tests seemed unable to clearly predict results in humans and required careful interpretation of dosage and animal species and strain responses. By the late 1960s, amidst the popular environmental movement, teratologists grappled with public claims that birth defects resulted from exposure to industrial pollutants in water or air, or from food additives, pesticides, and industrial waste or effluent. In a crowded field of professionals concerned with pharmaceutical or chemical exposures during pregnancy, teratologists proved adaptive and resilient. Despite influences from the environmental movement, teratologists at times tried to contain the substances and outcomes considered relevant and called for greater vetting of chemical claims, amidst rampant journalistic and public accusations about iatrogenic or industrial harm.

  • Finding an Unusable Past: Why Has Eugenics Gone Missing from the History of American Economics?
    Finding an Unusable Past: Why has Eugenics Gone Missing from the History of American Economics? Thomas (Tim) Leonard Dept. of Economics Fisher Hall Princeton University Princeton, NJ 08544 (609) 258-4036 [email protected] www.princeton.edu/~tleonard For HOPE April 2004 Conference on The Economic Role of Government in the History of Economic Thought Abstract Darwinian and eugenic ideas were influential and popular in Progressive Era; reform economists and other progressives routinely appealed to their authority. But eugenics is all but absent from the history of American Progressive-Era economics. Why? One aspect of this puzzle is a historiographic tradition that misconstrues eugenics, treating it as an aberrant, pseudo-scientific, laissez-faire doctrine, a successor to Gilded-Age social Darwinism, and a prelude to German National Socialism. Eugenics, in short, represents everything progressives are seen to oppose. This essay argues that the traditional view is doubly incomplete: wrong about the nature of eugenic thought, and wrong about the nature of progressive thought. With respect to eugenics, new scholarship shows convincingly that Progressive-Era eugenics was, in fact, the broadest of churches. Eugenics was mainstream; it was widespread; it appealed to an extraordinary range of political ideologies, not least to the progressives, and it was – as state control of human breeding – a program that no social Darwinian could consistently endorse. Eugenics also survived the Nazis. With respect to the progressives, it is important that, in an era before Mendelian genetics became established, Darwinian thought was protean enough to accommodate a wide range of political views. In particular, it was still unsettled as to whether human heredity was Lamarckian or Darwinian, and whether natural selection operated at the level of the individual or of the collective (e.g., the race or nation).

Although eugenics has a negative connotation, family balancing (the term of art coined to refer to those who use preimplantation genetic diagnosis to pick an embryo of a certain gender) does not. In fact, it sounds empowering to be able to have a say in the gender of one’s baby. This Article explores new innovations in life sciences that make eugenics inevitable—for a certain class of people—those who can afford to pay for it. The designer baby thought experiment has been around for several decades, but until very recently the idea of actually being able to enhance an embryo was still very much science fiction.

Iran aggressively pursues these weapons and exports terror, while an unelected few repress the Iranian people’s hope for freedom. Iraq continues to flaunt its hostility toward America and to support terror. The Iraqi regime has plotted to develop anthrax, and nerve gas, and nuclear weapons for over a decade. States like these, and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world.

  • Genomics in Perspective
    Genomics in Perspective A lecture series presented by the National Library of Medicine May-June 2006 Organizer: David Cantor Ph.D. Lister Hill Auditorium, Building 38A National Institutes of Health Bethesda, Maryland Genomics in Perspective NLM is pleased to announce Genomics in Perspective, a lecture series that presents historical and social science perspectives on genomics to an audience of scientists, physicians, policy makers, and the general public. Genomics can be a confusing issue to the public. For some, it promises a radical and abrupt transformation in medical practice; others suggest that the new genetics has not and will not revolutionize the way common diseases are identified or prevented. Some welcome genomics as ushering in a golden age of new and more effective treatments, better diagnostic interventions, and more powerful means of biological investigation through bioinformatics, genetic analysis, measurement of gene expression, and determination of gene function. Others caution against over-optimism, and point to the importance of culture, society and history to an understanding of the complexity of interaction between biology, genes, and environment. The lectures in this series explore some of these issues from historical and social science perspectives. Together they seek to stimulate discussion of the social, historical, and cultural meanings and uses of genomics; to help to put genomics in perspective. Each event will feature • A lecture by a historian or social scientist. • A response by a physician, scientist or policy maker. • A discussion period Admission is free and all are welcome. Program Start time: All lectures will start at 4.00 pm Location: Lister Hill auditorium, Building 38A, NIH Campus (directions below).

General Gene Transfer Research This annotated bibliography with an introductory essay was first published as ―Human Gene Therapy‖ in the Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal, Vol. 4, No. 1, pp. 63-83, March 1994. It has been updated by Bioethics Research Library at Georgetown staff on a periodic basis through July 2011. These citations provide a representative sample of the literature on Human Gene Transfer Research as an aid for students and researchers who are beginning to explore the topic. Search strategies for numerous databases are supplied at the end of this bibliography to support comprehensive research. I. Background top Gene transfer research is a form of experimental treatment that involves transferring genetic material into the cells of a patient with a disease caused by a missing or mutated gene. The goal is to cure the disease by modifying the genetic information of the patient‘s cells, thereby inducing normal protein expression to replace the mutated or lost gene. For this to work, genetic material must be inserted into the target cells. One way to do this is to take advantage of the fact that some viruses can insert genetic material into host cells as part of their replication cycle; the virus inserts its genes into a host cell, induces the host cell to make more copies of the virus, then kills the host cell once the new viruses have been released from the host cell.
