Research ethics. US scientists 'knew Guatemala syphilis tests unethical' US government scientists who infected Guatemalans with syphilis and gonorrhoea as part of a study knew they were violating ethical rules, a US presidential panel has said.
The researchers infected hundreds of prisoners, psychiatric patients and sex workers during the 1940s to study the effects of penicillin. None of the Guatemalans was informed. But many of the same scientists had sought consent from participants in an earlier study in the US. Dr Amy Gutmann, head of the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, called the research a "shameful piece of medical history".

Microwaves in the cold war: the Moscow embassy study and its interpretation. Review of a retrospective cohort study. Beams of microwaves from Soviet sources aimed at the US embassy building in Moscow were detected since 1953, increasing in intensity in 1975.
In 1976, an ambitious epidemiological study was commissioned by the U.S. Department of State to investigate possible health effects on the staff of the US embassy in Moscow and their families. The study was carried out by Abraham Lilienfeld (deceased, 1984) and colleagues at the Department of Epidemiology at Johns Hopkins University. The study has never been published in detail. Does Corporate Social Responsibility Increase Profits? By Ron Robins, Investing for the Soul It is generally held that corporate social responsibility (CSR) could increase company profits and thus most large companies are actively engaged in it.
But few executives and managers are aware of the research on this important subject. And as I review here, the research does show that it may improve profits. However, linking profit growth to abstract variables that are frequently difficult to define is a challenging task. 15-Yr-Old Kelvin Doe Wows M.I.T. When Humans Lose Control of Government. A decades-long obsession with writing excessively detailed laws had made it impossible for real people to get anything done.
Marcio Jose Sanchez/AP The Veterans Affairs scandal of falsified waiting lists is the latest of a never-ending stream of government ineptitude. Every season brings a new headline of failures: the botched roll-out of Obamacare involved 55 uncoordinated IT vendors; a White House report in February found that barely 3 percent of the $800 billion stimulus plan went to rebuild transportation infrastructure; and a March Washington Post report describes how federal pensions are processed by hand in a deep cave in Pennsylvania. The reflexive reaction is to demand detailed laws and rules to make sure things don’t go wrong again. But shackling public choices with ironclad rules, ironically, is a main cause of the problems. Responsibility is nowhere in modern government. Edheads - Activate Your Mind! Improbable research: The Limerick laureate works his magic.
In 2003, an independent scholar from New Jersey began submitting limericks for a competition in mini-AIR, the monthly online supplement to my magazine, Annals of Improbable Research.
The contest challenges readers to read an off-putting scholarly citation, and explain it in limerick form.

Other college student volunteers -- the "guards" -- were given authority to dictate 24-hour-a-day rules. Lewis Terman (1877–1956) - Testing, Stanford, Gifted, and Intelligence.
