abstract:Henry H. Turner (August 28, 1892 – August 4, 1970) was an American endocrinologist, noted for his published description of Turner Syndrome in 1938 at the annual meeting of the Association for the Study of Internal Secretions.
Surprising acceptance, perhaps, given endless twittering about the replacement of British cultural values, particularly among the young, by coarse American cultural values--Rambo for Henry V, Warhol rather than Turner, Eminem in place of Elgar or Ralph Vaughan Williams.
Julie Logan, of the Cass Business School in London, found in separate surveys in 2001 and 2007 that 20% of the British entrepreneurs and 35% of the American entrepreneurs she studied were dyslexic. (By contrast, only 1% of corporate managers are similarly afflicted.) Famous dyslexic businessmen include Richard Branson, Charles Schwab, Ted Turner, John Chambers and Henry Ford.
