==The Case of the Frozen Addicts (Book)==
''The Case of the Frozen Addicts'', co-written by Palfreman and J.

Langston eventually discovered that each of the patients had been exposed to a "designer drug", composed of [[MPTP]] which, he hypothesized, destroyed cells in the part of the brain called the [[substantia nigra]] and impaired the production of [[dopamine]]. This, in turn, caused symptoms very much those seen people with [[Parkinson's disease]].

Jon Palfreman (born XXXX) is a reporter, writer, producer and educator best known for his documentary work on Frontline and Nova. He has won awards for his journalism, including the Peabody Award,[1] Emmy Award, the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Silver Baton,[2] Writers Guild of America Award, and the AAAS-Westinghouse Science in Journalisim Award.[3][4] Palfreman has written, directed and produced documentaries on a wide range of topics, but specializes in topical and often controversial issues involving science and medicine.[5] Palfreman is the author of Brainstorms: The Race to Unlock the Mysteries of Parkinson's Disease, The Case of the Frozen Addicts: Working at the Edge of the Mysteries of the Human Brain (with J. William Langston),[6] and The Dream Machine: Exploring the Computer Age (with Doron Swade). He is also president of the Palfreman Film Group.[7]

Background

Palfreman was born in England[8] [Year?]

Palfreman studied physics and the history and philosophy of science while attending university, [8] earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from University College London in 1971 and a Master of Science degree in history and social studies of science from the University of Sussex in 1972.[citation needed]

In 2006, Palfreman earned a PhD in Communications at the University of Glamorgan (now the University of South Wales) in 2005.[9]

While working at WGBH in Boston, Palfreman was a resident of Lexington, MA.[10] He moved to Eugene, Oregon in 2006 to teach at the University of Oregon.

Career

In the late 1970s until 1997,[citation needed] Palfreman worked as a science journalist, director and producer for the BBC in London and WGBH in Boston, MA[7]

In 1997, Palfreman started his own production company, the Palfreman Film Group.[7]

While in Massachusetts, Palfreman served as adjunct professor at Tufts University (teaching a course in risk communication)[7][11], Boston University and Suffolk University.

trustee and board member of the Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies[7] [12]

In 2002, Palfreman along with five other journalists, John Price, Robin D. Stone, Jonathan Cohn, Barry Meier, and Marc Schaffer, was selected as a 2002 Kaiser Media fellow.[13]

In 2006, Palfreman was selected as a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University[3][14]

Palfreman held the position of KEZI Distinguished Professor of Broadcast Journalism at the University of Oregon until 2015.[15] He is currently an emeritus professor of journalism at the University of Oregon. [citation needed]

Journal of Parkinson's Disease[16]

In 2011, Palfreman was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, which he wrote about in The New York Times article, The Bright Side of Parkinson's.[17]

The Machine That Changed the World (TV Documentary)

The Machine That Changed the World, a five-hour PBS series for which Palfreman was executive director, tracks the origin of the computer from the 18th century, when "computers" were human beings, to what was, by 1992, the development of machines so inexpensive that virtually anyone could own and use one.[18][19] The series included conversations with Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, Thomas Watson, Jr., Bill Gates, and Marvin Minsky and covered topics such as the development of the U.S. computer industry, artificial intelligence (including Douglas Lenat's Cyc) and virtual reality.[18][20] The series also recognized Konrad Zuse, John Mauchly, J. Presper Eckert, Maurice Wilkes, and Alan Turing for their contribution to advances in computer technology in the 20th century.[21] In reviewing the series, Eric Mink of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch wrote: "What could have been a tangled mess of tubes, transistors, RAM, ROM, chips, bits and bytes instead is a story of a struggle against conventional thinking; of creative insight; of salesmanship and politics; of people taking risks and sometimes failing, sometimes succeeding beyond all expectations. And nothing brings a story to life more than being able to see and hear some of the people who made it happen."[22] The Machine that Changed the World won the 1992 George Foster Peabody Award for excellence in "chronicling the history and impact of computing."[1]

It is not an ordinary machine, like a car or washing machine. It is something special. When we thought about it more deeply, we realized it wasn't a machine, it was a new medium. It was more like the development of writing than the development of the automobile.

Prisoners of Silence (TV Documentary)

In 1993, Palfreman produced an hour-long show exploring Facilitated Communication (FC), a technique being touted by some parents, teachers and mental health professionals as a way to "unlock the autistic mind" simply by supporting their child or client's hand while typing on a keyboard.[23][24] However, his investigations into FC revealed that the claims of proponents, such as Douglas Biklen of Syracuse University, that these people with severe impairments could "actually write and think for themselves" were scientifically unfounded.[25] Double-blind testing demonstrated that "when autism sufferers and facilitators were shown different objects, what was typed by the autistic person was what the facilitator saw".[23][26] Further, throughout the United States, charges of sexual abuse were being leveled at parents and caregivers by facilitators using the technique whose communication partners were, later, found out to have no ability to read or write on their own. FC, often compared with the Ouiji board,[27] turned out to be a "poorly tested and researched technique that has given false hope to many," as well as raise "questions about both the human and professional capacity for self-delusion and the reliability of new information in the field of mental health care."[24] Prisoners of Silence won an AAAS-Westinghouse Science Journalism Award in 1994, which Palfreman considered one of the most valuable awards he's received.[8]

People today are deluged with claims that play on their hopes and fears, and that aren't actually based on anything of substance. Science journalists aren't afraid to engage in the details of science, to go in and bring some reason to these areas. [The AAAS awards] recognize this.

— Palfreman[8]

What's Up with the Weather? (TV Documentary)

In What's Up With the Weather, a 2000 Nova and Frontline documentary, Palfreman and his production team explored the science and politics behind climate change. In what critics described as a "sensible and realistic approach to an issue badly skewed by high emotion and low politics", Palfreman explores climatology and greenhouse gases, the extinction crisis, and alternatives to fossil fuel use.[28][29] According to Palfreman, global warming is an issue that will "eclipse all the previous controversies over DDT, asbestos, toxic metals, radiation and even tobacco."[30] What's Up with the Weather won the National Association of Science Writers Science in Society Award in 2001.[31]

Global warming is the mother of all environmental debates.

— Palfreman [32]

The Harvest of Fear (TV Documentary)

The Harvest of Fear, written, directed and produced by Palfreman in 2001, is a Frontline and Nova co-production examining modern day agriculture and the benefits and risks of technology used to genetically modify food. The program explores the issues of pesticide use, world hunger, the risks of tampering with nature, "Frankenfoods", and the politics of applying biotechnology to food sources. The program also highlights (and sometimes challenges) opponents' concerns about "unforseeable adverse medical and environmental effects."[33][34][5][35] The Harvest of Fear won the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Silver Baton Award in 2002.[2]

Basically, this is a story about the increasing power of science to alter our world and the fear this power generates.

— Palfreman [34]

The Case of the Frozen Addicts (Book)

The Case of the Frozen Addicts, co-written by Palfreman and J. William Langston, documents the medical journey Langston took as a neurologist in a California hospital when, in 1982, he encountered patients, drug abusers, who presented with paralysis and an inability to speak. Langston eventually discovered that each of the patients had been exposed to a "designer drug", composed of MPTP which, he hypothesized, destroyed cells in the part of the brain called the substantia nigra and impaired the production of dopamine. This, in turn, caused symptoms very much those seen people with Parkinson's disease. Along with describing treatment approaches for the "frozen addicts" (some successful, some not), Palfreman and Langston also discuss the ethical, political, economic, and legal involved with researching treatments for devastating neurological disorders. The Case of the Frozen Addicts was published by Pantheon in 1995.[36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43]
