From unapologetic Nazis to dedicated humanitarians who carried out prize-winning research while being resistance fighters or peace activists, these engaging true stories reveal the depths of both the human strength and depravity of the people who forged medical progress in the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHeroes \u0026amp; Scoundrels\u003c\/i\u003e (Volume 2 in the \u003ci\u003eBoneheads and Brainiacs\u003c\/i\u003e series), author and medical historian Moira Dolan, MD, continues her fascinating exploration of Nobel Prize in Medicine winners, focusing on the years 1951-1975. The book's many biographies include the delightful discoveries of a honeybee researcher who persisted through the carpet-bombing of Munich, in-depth reflections on the nature of consciousness from Nobel neuroscientists, and even wild, hard-to-believe self-experimentation in the name of medical progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHeroes \u0026amp; Scoundrels\u003c\/i\u003e also provides readers with an eye-opening \"behind the scenes\" look at what one Nobel winner described as \"a few odd crooks\" in the Nobel Prize business of the post-War era, including researchers engaged in medical research dishonesty and fraud, and self-important scientists who leveraged their notoriety to influence public health affairs. The role of Nobel Prize winners is revealed in public debates about everything from water fluoridation to \"good genes\" and \"bad genes.\" One laureate wondered, \"whether mad scientists should really be allowed to police themselves\" in light of the lack of informed consent for vaccine research and modified viruses escaping from labs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs put by another laureate, the medical \"priesthood\" is due for some critique, and \u003ci\u003eHeroes and Scoundrels\u003c\/i\u003e will get you thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-12673824\"\u003eMoira Dolan\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Quill Driver Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/23\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.00h x 8.80w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781610353939\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1610353935\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO017000\"\u003eMedical (Incl.
