Remember When They Fed Radioactive Oatmeal to Children — And Called It Science? -WEEK IN REVIEW

Remember When They Fed Radioactive Oatmeal to Children — And Called It Science? -WEEK IN REVIEW

Between 1946 and 1953, at a Massachusetts institution called the Walter E. Fernald State School, dozens of boys were recruited into something called a “Science Club.” They were promised special perks — better food, baseball games, trips to the beach. What they weren’t told was that their breakfast oatmeal and milk were secretly laced with radioactive iron and calcium.

The so-called nutritional study was designed by scientists from MIT, funded in part by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, and co-sponsored by Quaker Oats, which supplied the cereal. The goal was to measure how well the body absorbed minerals from food — but the method violated every basic rule of ethics and consent.

The children, many labeled “feebleminded” or “morons” by the state, were wards of Massachusetts — boys without parents, without rights, and without the ability to refuse. Some were even injected with radioactive materials in follow-up experiments. None were told what was happening to them.

When the truth came out decades later, public outrage was immediate. Survivors like Fred Boyce came forward, saying the greatest harm wasn’t the radiation — it was being treated like an object, not a person. In 1998, MIT and Quaker Oats settled a class-action lawsuit for $1.85 million, and President Bill Clinton issued an apology on behalf of the federal government for Cold War-era human radiation testing.

But behind the headlines is a bigger story — about power, secrecy, and the belief that science justifies anything.

In this episode, we dig deep into the Fernald radioactive oatmeal experiments — what really happened, who was responsible, what became of the victims, and how it changed human-subject research forever.

Fresh Breaks in the D4vd : Celeste Rivas Case & What We Hear in the Kohberger Tapes

Fresh Breaks in the D4vd : Celeste Rivas Case & What We Hear in the Kohberger Tapes

Fresh Breaks in the D4vd : Celeste Rivas Case & What We Hear in the Kohberger Tapes 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was missing for 17 months. Then her body was found wrapped in plastic inside a Tesla registered to music artist D4vd, abandoned in the Hollywood Hills. Bryan Kohberger stabbed four students to death—then calmly walked into Costco hours later, shopping like nothing happened. These are two of the most disturbing cases in recent memory. And in this full episode of Hidden Killers, I sit down with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke to analyze the behavior that reveals what’s really going on beneath the surface. We cover: 🔪 The full Celeste Rivas timeline: from missing person to body in a trunk 🔪 Grooming signs: matching tattoos, shared messages, and behavioral control 🔪 Why no one has been charged in Celeste’s case—and what that means 🔪 Kohberger’s post-murder shopping trip: what investigators read in "normal" behavior 🔪 Survivor interviews: how trauma sounds vs. how the internet twists it 🔪 Community silence: why people didn’t speak up—until it was too late 🔪 What predators count on: your discomfort, your delay, your disbelief Celeste was visible in Discord chats, Twitch streams, and shared screenshots. Kohberger’s every move was caught on surveillance. Yet in both cases, the public missed what mattered most: the behavior. Robin Dreeke brings the FBI’s playbook to the table—no fluff, no conspiracy nonsense, just how trained profilers decode grooming, concealment, and control. 👉  Bryan Kohberger has pleaded guilty and is serving life in prison. 👉 Celeste Rivas is dead. Her cause of death is still pending. No charges have been filed.  But the signs were there. And we walk you through every one of them. If you're here for real analysis—not internet guesswork—this is the episode. 🏷️ HASHTAGS  #CelesteRivas #D4vd #BryanKohberger #KohbergerVideo #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #FBIProfiler #TrunkDiscovery #PostCrimeBehavior Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
