If you’d like to hear a bit more about the discoveries made while researching the Seaworthy exhibit, consider attending the January 11th Wednesday Nite @ the Lab, where Micaela will be talking about the installation of the exhibit.

This traveling exhibit from The College of William & Mary's Muscarelle Museum of Art features the magnificent watercolors of expeditionary illustrator Karen Jacobsen. Jacobsen had multiple voyages in the Alvin submersible, with oceanographer Cindy Lee Van Dover at the helm, exploring the deep ocean and rendering these wonderful works of art. Reception will feature Jacobsen and Van Dover talking about their joint project.

Some of the world's smallest art (but printed and framed in large format!) is on display in the Ebling's 3rd floor galleries. Nearly 50 images and a number of models feature cells, molecules and nanoscale structures generated by UW-Madison scientists over the last 10 years. The magnified images include mice and fruit-fly embryos, butterfly and plants cells, and amazing, colorful corn kernels. Research specialist Steve Paddock of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute helped produce the collection. He says that researchers colored some images, which serves to highlight different genes within the photographs. The collection comes to Ebling from Tandem Press. Tandem's Director, Paula Panczenko originated the exhibit at the Dane County Airport.

We are very excited to be able to share it on the campus's West side!

The Ebling Library and the UW Center for Global Health are pleased to host a traveling banner exhibition called Against the Odds: Making a Difference in Global Health. Developed by the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, the exhibit highlights the ways in which communities, in collaboration with scientists, advocates, governments, and international organizations, are helping to prevent disease and improve quality of life in global settings. The six banners focus on the challenges and triumphs in areas such as food security, AIDS, conflict, disease, and discrimination.

In conjunction with Against the Odds, Ebling Library and the Center for Global Health are sponsoring a photographic exhibition. Health for All: Images of Caring from Around the World documents the work and travel experiences of more than 20 faculty, staff, and students from UW - Madison's global health community, featuring examples of fieldwork, animal care, service projects, and clinical care in global environments. Health for All runs from November 1 - December 30, 2010 in Ebling's 3rd floor Gallery.

Join us for the opening lecture & reception for both exhibits, on Tuesday, November 2, 2010, 5 - 6 pm. HSLC 1325 (reception to follow in HSLC atrium). More information can be found at http://ebling.library.wisc.edu/events/details.cfm?session_id=838.

The exhibit has had a warm reception by the health science and global health communities. The exhibit has been part of an assignment in N322: Community Health Nursing, it has been seen by scores of students using the Library and the group study rooms, and numerous people have commented in our guest book about the impact of seeing the photographs altogether in a gallery.

Please come visit before it ends.

This exhibition honors the lives and achievements of women in medicine.

Women physicians have excelled in many diverse medical careers. Some have advanced the field of surgery by developing innovative procedures. Some have won the Nobel prize. Others have brought new attention to the health and well-being of children. Many have reemphasized the art of healing and the roles of culture and spirituality in medicine.

The traveling exhibition "Changing the Face of Medicine: Celebrating America's Women Physicians" was developed by the Exhibition Program of the History of Medicine Division of the National Library of Medicine in collaboration with the American Library Association Public Programs Office. The traveling exhibition has been made possible by the National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health Office of Research on Women's Health. The American Medical Women's Association provided additional support.

Exhibition will be located in the HSLC Atrium. Continue to check this site for more information.
