HSL Hosts Special Exhibition and Presentation
 The Health Sciences Library (HSL) hosted a special presentation on December 6, in conjunction with the exhibit, "For All the People: A Century of Citizen Action in Health Care Reform," currently on display in the 19 Skyline Drive lobby. Marie T. Ascher, M.S., M.P.H., right, the Lillian Hetrick Huber Endowed Director, welcomed speaker Adam E. Block, Ph.D., assistant professor of public health in the Division of Health Policy and Management, who provoked the audience with the title of his presentation, "Dirty Secrets of U.S. Health Reform." The exhibit, created by the National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health, tells the lesser-known story of how movements of ordinary citizens helped shape the changing American health care system. You can view the exhibit through December 17, in the 19 Skyline Drive lobby and from December 18 to January 6, in the Hales lobby in the Basic Sciences Building.

Carl V. Hamby, Ph.D.
, associate professor of microbiology and immunology, and Gary P. Wormser, M.D., professor of medicine, microbiology and immunology, and pharmacology, and vice chair of medicine for research and development. "Dr. Smith was a co-recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the development of phage-displayed peptide libraries, some of which he generously supplied and were instrumental in our discovery of a new diagnostic peptide for Lyme disease," explains Dr. Hamby. Read the full article on the collaboration.
