James Murray (far left) faces allegations of grooming while Joe Gatto (second from right) is being accused of sexual assault ANA DOLLARD | STAFF REPORTER | adollard@butler.edu  Content warning: Reference to sexual assault and grooming asking her for back massages and making frequent inquiries into her sex life She also claimed Gatto invited her into his room to cuddle “The first time we had romantic/sexual contact I was 17,” Pretend_Crab_9160 said in a thread on Reddit. However, since the user lived in the UK at the time of the event, where the age of consent is 16 Although the user claimed that the age gap they described is legal in the U.K. “I’m not accusing him of committing a crime The reason I shared my story is because I was sick of others not being believed Fans are disheartened to see once-beloved comedians become yet another case of fallen idols sophomore strategic communication major Grace Friedberg explained her reactions to the allegations “It just puts everything that they do in the show in a different light,” Friedberg said “You wonder who’s uncomfortable on set and who’s uncomfortable if they’re pranking [people] which is formatted around a group of friends pranking and embarrassing each other is one that many felt was an opportunity for enjoyable reality TV may have been hiding a darker reality Whether or not the allegations are true remains unverified as of publication. Many fans online refuse to consider the allegations, accusing the victims of lying or blaming them for the occurrence in the comments of joozyb’s videos “It’s giving I was drunk and now I regret it so I’m gonna get my 15 min of fame … you knew exactly why you were going to that hotel bffr,” said one TikTok user in the comments section “I don’t believe her at all,” said another in the same video While Murray remains silent, Gatto responded to the allegations against him in the gossip column Page Six “I have used poor judgment and as a result have violated the trust of the people I love most,” Gatto said “But anyone who knows me at all knows full well that I wouldn’t assault anyone.” Some fans have felt like they cannot entirely trust the messages that Gatto has been communicating Junior criminology-psychology major Molly Goodman mentioned that she believes Gatto may have underlying motives for checking into the treatment center “My guess is he’s doing it before the legal action takes front,” Goodman said “If he shows that he’s actively trying to fix himself they’re less likely to prosecute him because he is actively seeking help.” Whether or not the move to communicate Gatto’s apparent attempts to get help was a PR tactic still remains unclear Other fans think Gatto should not be allowed to slip through the cracks of the legal system for the alleged assault Junior criminology-psychology major Ireland Crabtree thinks further action should be taken against Gatto “I think it’s a good move overall for him to cancel that with all of this stuff ongoing,” Crabtree said “But I think there needs to be some recognition of and I would like to [legally] make it right with these women.’” Whether or not the victim will pursue legal action still remains unclear. Joozyb had one final message in her video: “Don’t meet your stars,” she said “He wasn’t my star but … don’t dig your foot where it doesn’t belong.” America’s relationship with celebrities is intense and complicated Especially in comedy — a source of comfort for so many — it is difficult to see an idol as someone other than who they present themselves to be While fans at Butler have been supportive of the victims Many fans see Gatto and Murray as exceptions from cancellation which gives the comedians an advantage in the court of public opinion Canceling someone who is well-liked means both sacrificing entertainment for the sake of supporting a victim and grieving the years of enjoyment from a now-tainted media  It is much easier to uphold the belief that a celebrity is well-meaning and deny any accusations against that person The problem worsens when this bias carries over into legal settings leaving these celebrities with favorability that shields them from prosecution A sense of humor should not exempt people from public scrutiny and action in court Butler University Title IX Resources Jules Grable — Atherton Union 316 — jearthur@butler.edu   Office of Student Advocacy Cell Phone — 317-910-5572 Office of Student Advocacy Office Phone — 317-940-2047 Counseling & Consultation Services — Health & Recreation Complex 120 Counseling & Consultation Services Office Phone — 317-940-9385 Indiana Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program — 317-247-3172 The Julian Center — 317-941-2200 (24 hour crisis line)  Firefly Children and Family Alliance — 317-264-2700 National Sexual Assault Hotline — 1-800-656-4673 National Domestic Violence Hotline — 1-800-799-723 You must be logged in to post a comment Send us your letters to the email listed below complete with your full name and affiliation with Butler University.

The video had over 4.6 million views as of Monday afternoon Murray brought his stand-up comedy show to Raleigh Gatto watched the clip for the first time during an interview with The Enquirer on Monday, in which he discussed his upcoming Cincinnati show, March 15 at Taft Theatre Gatto said he wasn't surprised by the performance "It's pretty much like every cruise we ever did," Gatto said and me and Murr would end up karaoking on stage and stuff "Me and the boys definitely love to bring the energy and create a moment The video of Gatto's reaction is at the top of the page Season 11 of "Impractical Jokers" picked back up Jan. 9 with Murray, Sal Vulcano and Brian Quinn. Gatto announced he was leaving the show in December 2021 for personal reasons the Ampersand International Arts Festival hosted comedian and author James “Murr” Murray in Colonial Williamsburg’s Kimball Theatre for a stop on his “Errors Tour.” Murray performed standup about his past errors of judgment interacted with audience members and played a few practical jokes on the people of Williamsburg Murray is best known for his role on TBS comedy series “Impractical Jokers,” which features his childhood friends Brian “Q” Quinn The Jokers challenge one another to perform ridiculous mischief in public and face equally ridiculous punishments for failing to execute the dares.  Murray’s current tour is also dedicated to promoting his latest of nine thriller novels, “You Better Watch Out,” co-authored by Darren Wearmouth. Murray also mentioned that his 2020 novel, “Don’t Move,” is being adapted into a film which will release in the fall.  “My whole idea of writing these thriller novels has been hoping that one day they will be turned into movies,” Murray said.  Murray opened the show with stand-up comedy about errors of judgment he has made in his life he discussed fanmade Impractical Jokers memes prank messages sent in a Ring doorbell “Neighbors” chat and humorous interactions with Amazon chatbots.  The final error Murray noted was a farewell voice message to his deceased mother recorded by his six year old brother-in-law Murray broke down the message’s gaffes The show also included unseen clips filmed for “Impractical Jokers.” Murray showed a video in which he drew on cartoonish eyebrows (his own eyebrows were bleached for a punishment) and interacted with fans in London He also introduced a clip of a “creep off” competition between the Jokers where they competed to be the creepiest in public “This video is one of my favorite things we’ve ever filmed,” Murray said “We don’t show it on tour anymore; it was never on TV.”  Murray called three audience members onto the stage for a game of “text roulette.” He asked the participants about their text conversations and sent dramatic prank messages to their friends and family.  Because the entire second half of the show I don’t know what’s going to happen,” Murray said we’re going to make it up as we go.” Jessica Sigsbee ’24 was called onto the stage where Murray took her phone and texted her friend Charlotte that he had thrown up all over her he FaceTimed Charlotte in front of the crowd as a surprise I grew up watching ‘Impractical Jokers,’ so when I heard Murr was coming here Murr is her favorite so it was just really funny.” Supporting comic Chris Johnston stepped in for the final portion of the show to play “Impractical Jokers” live outside the theatre Johnston shot basketballs into tables and knocked over stanchions inside Precarious Beer Project at Murray’s request Murray noted that “Impractical Jokers” is celebrating 15 years of filming this month Murray observed that the Jokers were already in their 30s and well into leading regular lives when their celebrity lives began giving them a down-to-earth perspective.  “It makes me realize that all the amazing things that have happened to us in the past 15 years are entirely because of you,” Murray said “I do not consider you guys our fans; I consider you my friends I literally feel like I’ve grown up with you and your families on TV.” The Williamsburg stop was special to Murray as his extended family hails from the Richmond and Norfolk areas he spoke directly to his nephew and brother-in-law in the audience.  “It’s like coming home,” Murray said.  The annual Ampersand International Arts Festival is organized by AVAdventure Productions with support from the City of Williamsburg but students of the College of William and Mary can also wait in line for free standby seats as availability permits.  Student programming and logistics interns help run the week of films guest speakers and more celebrations of the arts Josephine Rozner ’25 served as the lead intern for Murray’s show and arrived early to help set up for the event The interns filter the crowds into the auditorium answer questions and complete other miscellaneous tasks such as selling merch The crowd for Murray’s show was the largest the student interns had seen at this year’s festival thus far.  We were able to accept a lot of students that were on standby I think like 32 students on standby,” student intern Abby Johnson ’25 said “That was really great that people were able to come in even though they couldn’t get tickets Log in to leave a comment The Flat Hat has been

opportunities for industry collaboration and advances in nuclear science By Uriah Orland April 2, 2025 Contact: Janese Heavin, heavinj@missouri.edu Photo by Abbie Lankitus The University of Missouri hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony today for a 47,000-square-foot addition to the University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) facility three-story addition to the existing MURR North Building represents not only an investment in the physical infrastructure but also in the future of research and production that will impact lives around the world “MURR is the most important source for medical radioisotopes in the country,” University of Missouri President Mun Choi said This addition includes 16,000 square feet of space dedicated for innovative research, medical isotope production and collaborative projects with industry partners.” 450,000 cancer patients were treated with isotopes produced at MURR.  “The opportunities that MURR West will provide in 2025 and beyond will save even more lives by changing the landscape of nuclear and cancer research,” Todd Graves “The board and I are proud that such a necessary and impactful initiative will bring so much to our state and enhance the health and well-being of its citizens.” “This new addition gives us the space we need and space for our partners to grow their technologies,” Matt Sanford “The first floor will be the future home of new research labs and industry partners who will work with Mizzou to develop new technologies they can leverage the expertise at MURR to help them bring their vision to reality faster.  It also represents the commitment Mizzou has to support Columbia Boone County and Missouri through the economic development possibilities new companies will bring.” The second and third floors provide space for manufacturing support and employees previously working in temporary buildings as well as additional space for future expansion Mizzou continues to invest in the expansion of radiopharmaceutical production at MURR construction began on a new addition that will house more production lines for the processing of no-carrier-added lutetium-177 (NCA Lu-177) the active pharmaceutical ingredient in Lutathera® and Pluvicto® targeted radiotherapies used to treat neuroendocrine tumors and prostate cancer MURR will begin construction on another addition that will create more storage and support space for the increased NCA Lu-177 production “These new additions are exciting,” Sanford said “They enable more lifesaving patient treatments and allow us to invest in new discoveries Combined with our ambitious plans for NextGen MURR we are securing Mizzou’s place as a leader in cancer research and treatment for generations.” The expansions and growth will help meet the increasing demand for lifesaving and life extending drugs to treat cancer patients around the U.S Thanks for visiting The NextGen MURR research reactor will trigger a series of advances in treating cancer searching for our cultural origins and more The University of Missouri’s bold leap in nuclear science will be a 20-megawatt reactor set to transform cancer treatment It will more than triple isotope production to meet growing demand It will build on MURR’s legacy as the most powerful U.S one that has run nearly nonstop since 1966 It will multiply MURR’s impact as the only source in the Western Hemisphere for four essential cancer-fighting isotopes responsible for 9.5 million months of extended life annually That’s in addition to breakthroughs in medicine and a true crime twist: NextGen MURR will also be a forensics powerhouse What do the following have in common?   Radioisotopes that treat more than 1.6 million cancer patients per year Forensic analysis that affects the outcome of criminal trials Novel medical devices designed to target disease while leaving healthy tissue alone Research that determines the often-surprising origins of cultural artifacts thousands of years old.  “They all happen at Mizzou,” you get partial credit they all happen at one location at Mizzou: the University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR).  Since its first nuclear chain reaction in 1966 MURR has been the home to abundant discoveries in radiopharmacology trace element epidemiology and materials science (See “From Atoms for Peace to New Nuclear” below.) At 10 MW it’s the most powerful research reactor at any university in the country — and has been so since 1974.   the university announced plans for NextGen MURR could more than triple capacity for producing radioisotopes used in cancer treatment and expand research capabilities in other fields.  “We have a responsibility to look beyond just today and to try to forecast what is going to be needed of us in the future,” says Michael Hoehn II who became NextGen MURR’s inaugural program director this year (See “NextGen MURR’s true son” below.)  producer of four medical radioisotopes used in cancer treatment: Iridium-192 helps treat brain Lutetium-177 currently is used to treat prostate cancer and neuroendocrine tumors with more possible targeted treatments in the future Sodium Iodide-131 is used for diagnosing and treating thyroid cancer and hyperthyroidism And Yttrium-90 targets liver cancer.  but Hoehn notes that there are thousands of clinical trials in process involving other isotopes The ones that prove effective and reach bedsides will drastically increase demand Mizzou has the track record of success and safety to produce them right here.  Thousands of Columbia residents drive past MURR while commuting on Providence Road every day without realizing they’re passing a nuclear reactor Hoehn says it’s likely more people know the MURR name internationally than locally.  “When you say MURR in the radioisotope community and the medical community they understand the importance of it to the supply chain for radioisotopes,” Hoehn says “But there are people here who don’t know why Reactor Field is named what it is and they don’t know there’s a reactor there MURR’s accomplishments are impressive enough to warrant more attention given how many cancer patients they affect are the radioisotopes the reactor produces MURR researchers also have been part of teams developing novel delivery approaches a special medical device now owned by Boston Scientific TheraSphere consists of tiny spheres of glass that deliver Yttrium-90 to the liver — a targeted approach that is designed to destroy cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue as much as possible Such targeted therapeutics are becoming more common which is part of why Hoehn sees such an urgent need for NextGen MURR.  MURR and its future counterpart cover a wide range of fields beyond radiopharmaceuticals associate director of research and education for the reactor Brockman points to the MURR Archaeometry Laboratory first established in 1988 and continuously funded by the National Science Foundation ever since Archaeometrists at MURR primarily use a technique called neutron activation analysis to examine archeological artifacts “They perform what are called provenance studies,” Brockman says meaning they’re trying to determine everything from age to origins of the objects Neutron activation analysis and other more recent techniques such as X-ray fluorescence allow them to examine materials without destroying them By studying the elemental composition of such objects archaeometry can trace the origins of raw materials revealing ancient trade routes and pinpointing the original locations of various cultures Brockman and other MURR-affiliated researchers use similar techniques in what’s called trace element epidemiology a field that uses nuclear analysis to study medical issues he has been a part of teams examining various bodily samples — blood even toenails — to determine how certain metals in the diet affect health such as the connection between selenium and cancer risk.   “Often these samples were collected 20 years “They’re irreplaceable.” The ability to accurately analyze such samples while maintaining their integrity sets nuclear science apart.  with both the diversity of work and its far-above-average operating capacity But Hoehn foresees an even higher goal.  “Our vision right now is to be the leader in radioisotope production nuclear science and technology research in the Western Hemisphere,” Hoehn says there’s no reason why we can’t do it.”  The vision is for NextGen MURR to be a fully integrated nuclear campus located at Discovery Ridge southeast of town.   “We see this as not just the reactor,” Hoehn says “but as the ability to partner with the private sector maybe the government in various national labs in a research setting — and not just in a traditional partnership sense but on-site in that integrated ecosystem.”  As the process shakes out over an estimated eight to 10 years Hoehn will work with a design-and-build partner to ensure that vision comes to life with spaces not only for faculty labs and the highly specialized equipment that supports them but also potential startup housing or special labs for future government agency partnerships.   “You can think about interactions that create inspired research in a model like this,” Brockman says “You can think about on-site partners designing research with our specific researchers and their expertise in mind.” Both Brockman and Hoehn point to the powerful possibility of taking a basic scientific discovery all the way to a patient’s bedside treatment That’s a more likely outcome when you gather all the right expertise — from nuclear science to the management of clinical trials — in one location.  If a carefully planned critical mass of talent is one benefit of NextGen MURR A 20 MW reactor on top of its existing 10 MW one would give Mizzou the two most powerful university research reactors in the country It takes much more power to produce electricity than to perform research.)  That power is not a one-to-one translation since NextGen MURR will be designed with current best practices in mind That’s why Hoehn and others say it will “more than” triple Mizzou’s current capacity.  One of the key advantages of this increased power is the boost in neutron flux which refers to the number of neutrons passing over an area at a given time MURR can retrieve isotopes from the reactor’s central “flux trap” positions only once a week NextGen MURR’s design will not only increase the neutron flux and number of isotopes created but also it will allow researchers to access and remove isotopes safely while the reactor continues to run The process has major implications for productivity.  So does the range of up-to-date tools and techniques envisioned for NextGen MURR The goal is to create a hub that will improve and save lives in the state country and beyond — and recruit and retain even more experts aligned with that goal. “NextGen MURR will attract the best and the brightest from around the world,” Hoehn says “To be able to have that right here in Columbia you’ll find Michael Hoehn II decked out in black and gold in the stands at Faurot Field where he joins his voice with 60,000-plus other Tiger fans.  you’ll find him not far away at Reactor Field at MURR where he uses his voice to extol the possibilities of nuclear research for the people of Missouri He earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering at Mizzou and an MBA from Maryville University then spent 18 years in nuclear energy at Ameren Missouri’s Callaway Energy Center.   “I was helping to provide energy to the public in a clean so I took that role pretty seriously,” Hoehn says “and I took a lot of pride in knowing what my job was.” He became director of nuclear engineering design and projects a role that included everything from managing major changes to juggling project timelines and budgets.   Hoehn found the perfect fit for his Mizzou pride and nuclear know-how — and it was right there in the town where he was already raising his family He pursued and was named to the role of inaugural program director for NextGen MURR reporting to the executive director of MURR Hoehn is responsible for assembling and leading a team of designers He oversees the process of choosing a long-term design and construction partner for what is envisioned as an integrated nuclear campus he’ll also be responsible for keeping the project on track through approximately eight to 10 years of various reviews and the construction process before it comes online.  Hoehn and team draw on nearly 60 years of learning at MURR but they’re also taking lessons from friendly competitors abroad “We were at a new reactor build site in the Netherlands recently doing benchmarking,” he says “That site has integrated radiopharmaceutical production capabilities as well as envisioning an integrated medical campus with clinical trial capabilities and they’re going to have a brand new state-of-the-art-reactor.” In other words it was exactly the sort of model he has in mind for NextGen MURR.  He also owns his role as a cheerleader for NextGen MURR Having worked in nuclear energy for so long he’s seen what a lack of education and information can do to public perception He’ll tell you about the obvious benefits of radiopharmaceuticals for treating cancer — and how they are improving via better targeting techniques that kill a tumor while saving healthy tissue including improving increasingly critical items such as lithium-based batteries He’ll mention the value of trace-element epidemiology and how advanced neutron scattering capabilities will attract the best of the best researchers.   “We should be talking about our ability to improve lives,” he says “That should be fundamental to our discussion about the power of the neutron and what we’re doing every single day here and what we envision expanding at NextGen MURR.” Eisenhower delivers his “Atoms for Peace” speech at the United Nations in which he covers nuclear disarmament and the positive possibilities of atomic research.  1955: University of Missouri

it also means job creation We are proud to be home to this exciting new project and look forward to the advancements in healthcare and nuclear medicine that will come from it.” MURR was selected because of its ongoing expansion of radioisotope production and the transformative initiative to build a new state-of-the-art research reactor — NextGen MURR This project represents a $1 billion investment in the future of nuclear medicine and radioisotope production establishing Missouri as a global hub for leading-edge research and innovation “The University of Missouri Research Reactor exemplifies the innovative spirit and forward-thinking approach that the Hawthorn Foundation seeks to recognize and support,” said Becky Willard executive director of the Hawthorn Foundation “MURR's contributions to nuclear science and its impact on both healthcare and economic development in Missouri are truly outstanding This award acknowledges not just their achievements to date but also the promise of what their ongoing work will bring to our state and beyond.” including the construction of the $20 million addition named MURR West will create more than 50 jobs in 2025 and is set to generate many more as the organization continues to grow will support the development and production of life-saving radioisotopes further solidifying MURR's status as a premier research institution “The University of Missouri Research Reactor is at the forefront of scientific innovation and economic development and we are honored to receive the Hawthorn Foundation Project of the Year Award,” Choi said “Our growth is not only a win for Missouri but also for the millions of patients who benefit from the life-saving treatments developed through our research and isotope production.” The NextGen MURR initiative is set to make Missouri home to the two largest university research reactors in the United States This project not only enhances MURR's capacity to produce critical medical isotopes but also drives job creation with more than 200 specialized positions anticipated with the new facility “The Hawthorn Foundation’s recognition of our work is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the entire MURR team as well as the vision of the University of Missouri to build a new reactor,” said Matt Sanford “There is a critical need for these cancer-fighting drugs and our efforts are advancing nuclear science and improving lives of patients around the world We’re excited to expand MU’s leadership in nuclear science and technology and contribute to the future of healthcare and economic growth in Missouri and beyond.” MURR’s initiatives have attracted significant industry investment and partnerships These collaborations are crucial in building a robust radiopharmaceutical supply chain dependency on foreign isotope supplies and driving advancements in cancer treatment and diagnostics and local and regional economic and workforce development organizations University of Missouri researchers explore how caring for a parent differs when you’re among siblings compared to being an only child Northern Transmissions is a music website started for music lovers, by music lovers.
