Børn er så ufatteligt nemme at påvirke, og traumer fra barndommet trækker spor dybt ind i voksenlivet. Det var også tilfældet da Wendel Johnson og hans specialestuderende Mary Jacobs forsøgte at forstå hvad det er, der forårsager stammen hos børn.Og efter at have samlet data ind i seks måneder til sit speciale, stod Mary lige pludselig med et projekt der traumatiserede børnehjemsbørn for livet, blev kaldt "The Monster Experiment" og blev anbefalet ikke at blive udgivet fordi det mindede for meget om samtidens naziforskning.Hør med når Mark fortæller om monstereksperimentet og hvordan stammen ikke er forårsaget af traumer fra barndommen.Hvis du vil være med til at optage live med os på Discord kan du støtte os på 10er og blive en af vores kernelyttere https://bit.ly/VU10er - hvis pengene er knappe kan du også bare tjekke vores Facebookgruppe ud, vi hygger max!Du kan også tjekke vores webshop: bit.ly/vushop.

Levy Easterly jokes about his move from the French Quarter to the South 7th Ward, just six blocks away, by saying he was "the last of the bohemians" to leave the Quarter. He knows this is a sweeping statement, but, of course, it's got some truth. Levy is a person that represents a version of New Orleans that host Mary Jacobs wishes we'd all try harder to cling to. He's a creative who pulls people in with his energy, artistic nature, and general bright spirit. He is the level of fun and free so many of us dream of being. He makes things by compulsion, like how he will let you know that he did a "house float" before it was a thing. Levy's art is who he is and how he is.
