Tiny: Art from Microscopes at UW-Madison

March 11, 2011 - April 1, 2011

Historical Reading Room and 3rd Floor Gallery

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!

Opening Doors: Contemporary African-American Surgeons

August 2, 2010 - September 24, 2010

HSLC 2nd Floor Landing

African Americans have always practiced medicine, whether as physicians, healers, midwives, or "root doctors." The journey of the African American physician from pre-Civil War to modern day America has been a challenging one. Early black pioneer physicians not only became skilled practitioners, they became trailblazers and educators paving the way for future physicians, surgeons, and nurses, and opening doors to better health care for the African American community.
