Document Summary
Originally referred to as grid (gay related immune deficiency) Beginning of 1992 they call it aids: auto immune deficiency syndrome. Many people were really passive about the issue. In the 70s it was a very difficult time for gays as they were shunned in society. People didn"t seem to care about the issue unless/until it (in)directly affected them: doctor didn"t care/was indifferent until she knew someone who was affected. Looking back on experiments involving animal and human participants, what are the main points you take away: killing thousands to save millions . Practical aspects of science: madeleine bassporte: illustrator, marie-catherine biheron: leading wax modeller. Assistants: caroline and william herschel, maria winkelmann-astronomy and calendar making, madame and monsieur lavosier. Husband didn"t know english, so she learned english to be able to do this work for both of them. Had much pull in making/breaking other"s jobs in the field through creating a salon.
