Give or take a few weeks, it's been a year since Columbia Pictures released The Social Network, the tenebrously-filmed, factually-ambiguous account of Mark Zuckerberg's nascent career as the father of Facebook. While the film's aesthetic was gloomy and its script strayed from fact – one third a subtle nod to Kurosawa's legal classic Rashomon, two thirds Sorkinian creative license – one truth resonates from it, and brightly so. Zuckerberg, as exemplified by his (Jesse Eisenberg's) penchant for sweatshirts, flip-flops, and wry insouciance, was and is still a kid.

It aimed to identify and remedy the hazards of a material then ubiquitous in lower-class Baltimore houses, according to the Institute's experiment records. The Institute is a Baltimore-based research facility for juvenile and adolescent developmental disabilities and a direct affiliate of Hopkins.

It's easy to get lost and, perhaps, sufficiently creeped out in the basement of Krieger Hall. Its lights are dim, its hallways narrow and misleading. Exposed piping is not yet passé.
