  • Real Remnants 6: Mustard Gas & Chemotherapy
    This time, we look at medical innovation in the context of war (and beyond!) and how observation led to the development of a treatment for cancer from a chemical weapon.Transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gHlENF6TdVCouRCb4ViW2eX97TZonNOfZlJzlX-Le2E/edit?usp=sharingFor Early Access to the next part of Real Remnants and Remnants' second season when it starts airing, support me on patreon: https://www.patreon.com/hangingslothstudiosA note: this episode mentions the development of the polio vaccine. This vaccine's development is wacky and absolutely wild in its own right, and many of the methods used, particularly early in the process, were completely bonkers and would not hold up to modern scrutiny; indeed many were criticised even at the time. The point is to highlight a case where people were not non-consensually used to innovate medically, NOT to highlight an example of a perfect developmental process. If I can find an excuse to talk about the development of the polio vaccine in more depth at some point, I absolutely will because it is completely wild.Further reading, for those compelled to dig deeper:Visual breakdown of the Haber Process: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/z9tvw6f/revision/1Deeper overview of mustard gas’ development into chemotherapy: https://news.cancerresearchuk.org/2014/08/27/mustard-gas-from-the-great-war-to-frontline-chemotherapy/'Medical Bondage' by Dr Deirdre Cooper Owens: https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt1pwt69x (available in many libraries and for purchase online, too)Introductory essay on ‘Medical Bondage’: https://www.thenationalbookreview.com/features/2021/2/26/qhy31dvkoyk2hdgi00iwfjarn17n8a Hosted on Acast.

About Remnants : An Audio Drama

A dark fantasy thriller audio drama.When we die, the remnants of us return to the First and Last Place... Remnants is a dark fantasy thriller audio drama following the Apprentice as he learns how to read remnants under the frustrating supervision of Sir. Remnants are seemingly innocuous objects – a broken pocket watch; a steel thimble; a silk scarf – but when the Apprentice looks closely, he sees how each one holds the remnants of someone’s life story.Each week the Apprentice reads a new remnant, following that person’s journery beginning to end. When he’s done, he must make a judgement; shelve or discard. But he doesn’t know what the criteria is or what the consequences of such a judgement might be.The more remnants the Apprentice reads, the more we begin to understand the magnitude of the task he has been set. And the more both we, and the Apprentice himself, wonder why it is him who has been chosen to do it.With every week, a new mystery. With every new mystery, a terrible choice.Find out more about Remnants here. Remnants is a part of the Rusty Quill Network. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
