It can sometimes feel like the history of the physical sciences is on its back foot. The AIP History Weekly Edition set out to show that, globally, there's so much going on that you can talk about it weekly and not get to everything. Here's some of what we couldn't get to in 2025. #histsci

Check out my second article in the Children's Crusade series for Cold War hypnosis research, connections to the infamous Dr. Thomas Narut, and the most "Stanford in the 1970s" story I've ever heard: getting paid in avocados to run parapsychology experiments on a child prodigy.
Today, Getting Spooked resumes the saga of musical medium Belita Adair. Reid tracked down Hugh Macdonald, the parapsychologist who conducted her psychic trials at Stanford in summer 1975. He reveals connections to Philip Zimbardo, Navy mind control, & more. tannerfboyle.substack.com/p/the-childr...
