Date and Time: February 29, 2012 12:00pm-1:30pm, Claire Fagin Hall Room 300 Abstract: : In 2001 the Appeals Court of Maryland compared research conducted at Johns Hopkins to Nazi human experimentation and the infamous Tuskegee syphilis experiments. Some wrote this decision off as hyperbole; others as a condemnation of the public health research community. This presentation will focus on how this crisis evolved both at Hopkins and more broadly the nation. It will trace what the controversy says about the dilemma of public health research in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
