The release didn’t name the schools, but a #US official … said they include #Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology [ #MIT ] & #JohnsHopkins University.
…Sarah Spreitzer, VP at the American Council on #Education, which represents #college & #university presidents, raised concerns that the announcement suggests, without any evidence, that the #schools are engaged in wrongdoing.

Watson murió en 1958.
Y el pequeño Albert desapareció de la historia durante décadas.
Ese es precisamente uno de los motivos por los que el caso se convirtió en una leyenda dentro de la psicología.
Un bebé fue llevado a un laboratorio.
Le enseñaron deliberadamente a tener miedo.
Después se marchó.
Y los investigadores no pudieron completar la parte destinada a quitarle ese miedo.
Eso es lo que está documentado.
Lo que no podemos afirmar con seguridad es que Albert viviera toda su vida traumatizado por aquel experimento.
La historia es suficientemente inquietante sin necesidad de añadirle algo que no podemos demostrar.
Y quizá lo más revelador sea aquella frase de Watson antes de comenzar:
consideraban que podían hacerle «relativamente poco daño».
En 1920 aquello podía parecer una justificación científica.
Hoy sabemos que **un bebé no puede consentir participar en una investigación y que provocar deliberadamente miedo en un niño sin garantizar después su eliminación constituye una violación ética grave**.
Little Albert no fue una leyenda.
La rata existió.
El ruido existió.
El miedo fue provocado deliberadamente.
Y las propias notas de los investigadores dejaron constancia de ello.

Pero hay que hacer una precisión importante.
La historia de David **no demuestra que la biología determine por sí sola toda la identidad de una persona**.
Tampoco demuestra que una persona no pueda cambiar su identidad.
Lo que demuestra es algo mucho más concreto:
**no puedes coger a un niño que nació como niño, modificar quirúrgicamente su cuerpo, ocultarle deliberadamente su historia y asumir que su identidad se ajustará automáticamente a la identidad que los adultos han decidido para él.**
Y además existe otra cuestión.
David no fue simplemente un «paciente».
Fue utilizado como un caso experimental para defender una teoría científica.
Money quería saber si la identidad podía ser moldeada.
Para obtener la respuesta convirtió la vida de un niño en el experimento.
David no eligió participar.
No pudo retirarse.
No pudo dar consentimiento.
Y durante años ni siquiera supo cuál era la pregunta que los médicos estaban intentando responder con su vida.
Eso es lo que hace que su historia sea tan inquietante.
No murió durante una operación.
No fue asesinado por un investigador.
No recibió una droga experimental que le provocara la muerte.
Pero cuando finalmente conoció toda la verdad, tuvo que vivir con las consecuencias de una decisión tomada cuando apenas tenía meses de vida.
El caso de David Reimer acabó convirtiéndose en una de las advertencias más conocidas de la historia de la medicina:
**una teoría científica no puede convertir a una persona en propiedad del experimento.**
Y cuando los investigadores se enamoran demasiado de su propia teoría, existe un peligro todavía mayor:
que dejen de escuchar a la persona que tienen delante.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: ✍️🧠 A new study challenges the idea that people are born with a skilled dominant hand, showing instead that hand dominance develops through repeated practice.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins and UCLA found that when tasks are novel both hands perform equally well, and that hand preference comes first and skill follows, not the reverse.

Dame Laura Knight
In 1926, Dame Laura Knight traveled to the USA where she gained access to the Johns Hopkins segregated wards, creating a series of sketches of patients + nurses. While in Baltimore, she befriended Pearl Johnson, an African American worker at the hospital. Johnson introduced Knight to the early American civil rights movement, bringing her to local lectures + concerts, prompting Knight to famously write that there was "a whole world of beauty" to explore in "Negro life" in America.

🎉 Breaking news! Johns Hopkins scientists finally discover a way to make your fridge more efficient... just in time for the invasion of Mars! 🚀 But wait, there's more - it involves "thinfilm materials," because apparently regular cooling was just too mainstream. 🙄

Universities built as real estate wealth hoarding conglomerates on the backs of slaves & stolen land are now selling out their academics for $100 per publication to train AI. Call me shocked! 😱
Starting with stolen labor and ending with it too. #artificialintelligence #johnshopkins #highered #BigTech

Other signs & #symptoms of #measles include:
Koplik's spots, tiny white spots that may appear inside the mouth 2 to 3 days after symptoms begin.
Small raised bumps may also appear on top of the flat red spots (the spots may become joined as they spread from the head to the rest of the body).
When the rash appears, a person’s fever may spike to more than 104°F.

🚀🔬 Oh, look! Johns Hopkins is playing with #nanotech to cool your drinks without a fridge compressor! Because, clearly, what the world REALLY needed was a more complicated way to chill beer. 🍻🙄

Happy Grad School Graduation anniversary to me. 🎓
Some years ago in Baltimore I finally put grad school in my rear-view mirror. I had worked 20+ part-time and 3 full-time jobs to get there. I treated myself to two ceremonies: one for Johns Hopkins and one for Peabody Conservatory.
An unexpected highlight was getting to meet James Van Allen, discoverer of Earth’s radiation belts. He was awarded an honorary doctorate by JHU that day so, in a way, he’s my classmate.
🍾 Semper sint in flore!
