A marginal interest? Byron and the visual arts
No full textAn analysis of Byron's overlooked interest in painting by Old Masters, in the Lowlands, Venice, and Rome.

The beauties of Byron and Shelley
No full textIn 1820s, Beauties had become a well-established if malleable genre in which the authorial subject could serve different purposes, particularly with the divisive figures of Byron and Shelley. Several selections of Byron appeared in the first half of the nineteenth century: the principal ones were compiled by Alfred Howard, Thomas Parry in 1823, B. F. French in 1828, and J. W. Lake in 1829 for a popular Paris-based series, 'The British Classics'. The Beauties of Shelley and Byron register the clash between the largely uncritical approach of earlier anthologies and the rise of personal criticism. The London Magazine in 1828, to give the reception in the periodical press, moves emphasis away from readers to the author's ownership of his own works, which in part signals the increasing importance of the anthology across literary culture. The Beauties of Don Juan similarly inflamed the debate long-circulating in the periodical press as to whether Byron could ever be suitable reading material for Christians

Prof. Cook-Deegan is a professor in the School for the Future of Innovation in Society and the Consortium for Science, Policy, and Outcomes at Arizona State University. He was the founding director of the Center for Genome Ethics, Law, and Policy at Duke University’s Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy. He served at the Office of Technology Assessment of the United States Congress where he contributed to major reports on emerging biomedical technologies and their societal impacts. He is the author of The Gene Wars: Science, Politics, and the Human Genome, a comprehensive account of the struggle to launch the Human Genome Project. His areas of expertise include genomics, genetic policy, Open Science, health technology, and public policy.
Bob Cook-Deegan recounts his childhood in Denver as the son of a physician. He discusses his early academic career, his undergraduate years at Harvard, his time at the University of Colorado Medical School, and his decision to pursue medical research. He also talks about becoming a father and maintaining a work-life balance with his two children and wife, Kathryn. Cook Deegan shares his experience researching Alzheimer’s disease, as well as his rotation at the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Cook-Deegan details his work at the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA), including reports on aging, biotech, and the Human Genome Project, and offers an account of its eventual demise due to political changes. Other topics include the history of the Bermuda Principles, the role of political administrations on health policy, the current turn to Open Science, and Cook-Deegan's own relationship to collecting oral histories. He concludes the conversation with a reflection on the Trump administration’s recent decision to cut funding for many science-funding agencies
