Event Description
Behind the Fog of the Cold War: Military Tests on Vulnerable Populations Without Consent
The 2012 Behavioral Sciences Colloquium presents Professor of
Sociology Dr. Lisa Martino-Taylor on Tuesday, Sept. 25 from 3:30-5 p.m.
in BA 105.
Covert military-sponsored studies during the Cold War targeted the city
of St. Louis, whereby residents, homes and buildings were sprayed with
hazardous materials from passing vehicles. This series of tests, which
took place between 1953 and 1965, was connected to a vast and secretive
military project. An extension of the Manhattan Atomic Bomb Project, the
goal was in part to covertly test humans, both alive and deceased, in
an effort to develop not just nuclear but also radiological weapons.
