A festschrift in honor of Joseph V. Brady in his 70th year.

Allan et al. (1994) put together a special journal issue. They filled it with tributes to Joseph V. Brady on his 70th birthday.

The papers praise Brady’s work in behavioral pharmacology and space medicine. No new data appear.

There are no findings. The issue is a birthday book, not an experiment.

Killeen et al. (2023) did the same thing for Howard Rachlin. Both issues honor big names with stories, not studies.

Fujiura (2015) and Lancioni et al. (2011) also skip data. They give memorials or reading lists instead.

Blydenburg et al. (2016) stand out. They asked training directors what is missing in BCBA classes. The directors said programs lack depth in basic research. The Brady tribute cheers that same research base, while the survey shows we still need to teach it better.

Read this tribute if you want a quick feel for Brady’s reach. Skip it if you need fresh tactics for Monday. Let the issue remind you that today’s training gaps—like too little basic science—were flagged long ago. Use Blydenburg et al. (2016) to check if your own course covers those weak spots.
