From Saving Fred to The Chopstick Challenge, approaching problems involves well thought out methods.
What if you're studying people instead of solving a problem like we did in class today? Does the problem solving method change? Do you need to think about what's ethical with human testing? What's right and wrong? Next class we will be looking into one doctor's attempt at solving a serious health problem which existed in the Southern United States in the 1900s. Watch the video (click on Dr. Goldberger's picture) and think about these questions:
1. What was the problem of pellagra?
2. What did people think caused pellegra?
3. What evidence did Dr. Goldberger observe or collect about pellegra?
4. What did Dr. Goldberger conclude about the cause of pellegra?
5. What are your thoughts about the right and the wrong in Dr. Goldberger's testing to solve this problem?
