be so bad in the courtroom that some of the elderly people had some issues, including a member of the prosecution fainting. During the break one of the days of trial, Scopes and William J Bryan Jr went swimming together in a natural pool in town to cool off but they were late returning for afternoon court and reprimanded.

The process of developing new drugs typically involves clinical trials. When a new medication, vaccine, or similar product has been developed, researchers must ensure that they are effective and safe for people to use. To experimentally test that a drug produces the intended effect, most clinical trials use a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design. In this type of experiment, some people are assigned by chance to the active intervention and others are assigned by chance to a controlled…
