The John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation has awarded Carl Elliott, MD, PhD, a fellowship in medicine and health. Prof. Elliott is on the faculty of the Center for Bioethics, a Consortium member, and in the Department of Pediatrics; he is also an affiliate faculty member in the Department of Philosophy and the School of Journalism and Mass Communications. During his Guggenheim Fellowship term, Elliott will be working on a book with the tentative title of Lonesome Whistle: Exposing Wrongdoing in Medical Research. Much of Elliott’s scholarship explores philosophical issues surrounding identity, authenticity and justice through the lens of biomedical technology. He is the author or editor of seven previous books, including White Coat, Black Hat: Adventures on the Dark Side of Medicine (Beacon, 2010) and Better than Well: American Medicine Meets the American Dream (Norton, 2003.) His articles have appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, The London Review of Books, Mother Jones, The New York Times and The New England Journal of Medicine. Guggenheim Fellows are appointed on the basis of prior achievement and exceptional promise; this year, the competition attracted nearly 3,000 applicants.
