Carleton Gajdusek & Kuru by Pierre Paul Gros & Douglas Allchin Visuals || Main Text Supplement: Allegations of Sexual Abuse For Gajdusek, his "adoptions" in Papua-New Guinea were genuine in spirit. But the crossing of cultural boundaries also proved problematic. When Gajdusek returned to the U.S., he brought some of his adoptees with him. He provided for their education and well being. Eventually, over several decades, he assumed the role of foster parent for 56 children, mostly boys. But in the 1990s, allegations of improper sexual conduct with the boys emerged. Further complaints subsequently emerged from a former neighbor, who alleged being molested over a long period of time during his youth (1970s). Gajdusek himself admitted to having sexual encounters with between 200 and 300 boys. However, he said that he never forced himself upon the children and that the boys consented to all actions. In 1996 Gajdusek was arrested and charged with child molestation. He pleaded guilty and spent 12 months in U.S. federal prison. THINK (12). How should this episode shape our perceptions of Gajudsek's scientific claims and of Gajdusek as a scientist? Consider: Were the relationships Gajdusek established important to his scientific work? What responsibilities did Gajdusek have to his "adoptees" in Papua New Guinea, especially when he planned to return to the U.S.? Whose cultural norms should guide a judgment of what is "appropriate" in this case? In what ways, if any, are Gajdusek's scientific work or achievements relevant when assessing his sexual behavior? In what ways, if any, is his alleged molestation relevant to his science or how we regard Gajdusek as a "scientist"? Scientists are inevitably human: How should we integrate the personal and professional dimensions of their identity? In parallel, what principles should guide how the scientists themselves integrate these coupled identities? This dimension of the case is addressed in a 2009 film documentary, "The Genius and the Boys," by Bosse Lindquist and co-produced by the BBC, Arte, SVT, NRK and DR..

Ändå lämnar reportervardagen inte mycket utrymme för dramaturgiska överväganden. Men också i den ständiga klappjakten på dyrköpt tid kan små kreativa okonventionella uttryck skapas. Att bygga både motstånd och samspel mellan text, ljud och bild. Att över- raska. Att ibland göra tvärtom. Vi tar ut svängarna bortom den dagliga nyhetsrapporteringen, men vill samtidigt landa just där – med idéer till nya arbetssätt och tänkesätt.

  • Seeing Through the Lies: Innovation and the Need for Transparency Transcript
    Seeing Through the Lies: Innovation and the Need for Transparency Transcript Date: Wednesday, 23 November 2016 - 6:00PM Location: Museum of London 23 November 2016 Seeing Through the Lies: Innovation and the Need for Transparency Professor Martin Elliott “The first principle [of science] is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.” Richard Feynman 1918-1988 theoretical physicist Introduction This paper is an evolution of the 2016 Robert Gross Lecture I delivered earlier this year in Boston, USA. In my early Gresham lectures, I introduced you to some of the pioneers of cardiac surgery, and discussed whether, in our current highly scrutinized and ethically monitored world, we would be allowed to do now what they did then. Of course, the story of Robert Gross and his first PDA ligation was a classic case study in that context. The very idea of waiting until your boss is away from town so that you could get on and do a ‘world first’ operation seems shocking now, and I am pretty sure that such an approach would, in most of the institutions in which we work, end our careers if we tried it now. However, there remain medical practitioners whose moral compass is at least misdirected and who, because of both personal and institutional drivers, lie to themselves, their colleagues and the public at large. In this lecture I will recount some stories of such individuals and consider, with particular reference to surgery, what might drive them to behave in such a way, and outline some ways in which we might be able to change the underlying culture which may even encourage such behaviour.

Det var Sveriges första Oscar för en dokumentärfilm sedan Arne Sucksdorff belönades för Människor i stad 1949. Searching for Sugar Man handlar om den amerikanske musikern Sixto Rodriguez som spåddes en lysande karriär i början av 1970-talet. I Sverige har filmen hyllats i medierna. Vissa kritiker har dock ställt frågan om det går att välja bort vad som inte passar in i en dokumentär. Malik Bendjelloul har i filmen gjort valet att inte nämna Sixto Rodriguez karriär i Australien i början av 1980-talet. I uppsatsen studeras hur filmen förhåller sig formmässigt och ämnesmässigt till dokumentärfilmshistorien samt om dess uppbyggnad är påverkad av den klassiska Hollywood- filmen. En studie görs också över hur synen på autenticitet inom dokumentärfilmen kommer till uttryck hos recensenter och filmforskare.

LA PAUVRETé – UN DÉFI POUR L’HUMANITÉ ET SUR ARTE +7 WWW.ARTE.TV/WHYPOVERTY ARMUTSZEUGNIS: © FONS SCHIEDON/SUBMARINE PICTURES En 2000, les Nations Unies ont défini les objectifs du millénaire pour endiguer la pauvreté sur le long terme. Une décennie plus tard, une question s’impose : où en sommes-nous ? L’initiative “WHY POVERTY ?” entend susciter un débat mondial autour de la pauvreté au XXIe siècle. Au centre du projet, une série documentaire en huit volets, signée par des réalisateurs du monde entier. Huit heures qui démêlent les causes de la misère aux quatre coins du globe et recherchent des solutions. Au delà de l’histoire de la pauvreté dans le monde, la série montre le fossé qui ne cesse de s’élargir entre riches et pauvres comme par exemple à New York, l’absence de perspectives des jeunes notamment en Chine ou encore l’exploitation de l’Afrique par des multinationales... Après le succès du projet international “Why Democracy? – Démocratie… pour tous ?” (2007)*, ARTE diffuse du 27 au 29 novembre “WHY POVERTY ? LA PAUVRETé – UN DÉFI POUR L’HUMANITÉ”, 8 documentaires de 52 minutes initiés par l’ONG Steps International et un groupe de chaînes de télévisions publiques dont ARTE, la BBC, la chaîne danoise DR, la ZDF, la chaîne japonaise NHK, et la chaîne suédoise SVT. * Collection de 10 documentaires diffusée sur ARTE en 2007 dont “Un taxi pour l‘enfer” - Oscar du meilleur film documentaire.
