Addressing health inequity is now recognized as a clinical competency in medical education. We examined the career and writings of Robert Wilson Jr. (1867-1946), longtime dean of the Medical College of the State of South Carolina during the Jim Crow Era, using primary and secondary sources within the context of systemic and structural racism, particularly in South Carolina. Wilson used public health data to refute the "Black Extinction Hypothesis" rooted in social Darwinism. He challenged assumptions of inherent Black susceptibility to tuberculosis, linking disease instead to social determinants of health. He also identified disproportionate mortality from kidney and cardiovascular disease among Black populations, anticipating modern health disparities research. Wilson further acknowledged systemic injustice and implicated structural conditions, including housing, in shaping outcomes. In an era of continuing health inequity and racial health disparities, Wilson applied empirical evidence to reject biological determinism, identify outcomes disparities, and advocate for racial justice.
A personal narrative of my time in the Hunt laboratory and beyond is provided. The impact of the Hunt laboratory on the analysis of peptides and proteins by tandem mass spectrometry is described in the context of the time.
Peter Venables made multiple contributions to the field of schizophrenia and schizotypy, most notably in the areas of psychophysiology, neurocognition, and assessment. On the 50th anniversary of the start of his research career in 1951, a conference on schizophrenia and schizotypy was held in his honor in Tuscany, Italy. This special edition encapsulates many of the presentations given at that meeting, covering the areas of neurodevelopment, assessment, genetics, psychophysiology, neurocognition, brain imaging, psychopharmacology, intervention, and prevention. A key theme of this special edition concerns the integration of schizophrenia and schizotypy research in a manner that will allow for a more comprehensive understanding of both of these disorders.
