SUMMARY:14th Annual Davis Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Jaipreet Virdi\, PhD\, will present the 14th annual Richard B. Davis\, MD\, PhD\, History of Medicine Lecture on April 14 from noon to 1 p.m. The lecture\, titled “Negotiating Normalcy: Deafness Cures in American History\,” will be held via Zoom (registration required).    \nDuring the late nineteenth century\, entrepreneurs began to glut the direct-to-consumer medical market with a plethora of remedies they professed could miraculously cure deafness. They claimed their medicines and machines fostered a world of unbridled optimism for providing “hope” to deaf ears. Even as medical specialists denounced these “cure-all” treatments as quackery in its finest form\, the messages of restoring hearing would transfer over to the hearing aid industry.   \nFocusing on the marketing of cures for deafness—hearing trumpets\, electrotherapy apparatuses\, and hearing aids—this presentation unravels the many ways deaf people sought to restore or gain hearing. This history provides a broad context for understanding the lived experiences of deaf people and how cultural pressures of normalcy significantly stigmatized deafness.  \nDr. Virdi is an Assistant Professor in the Department of History at the University of Delaware. A historian of medicine\, technology\, and disability\, her research focuses on the ways medicine and technology impact people with disability. She is author of Hearing Happiness: Deafness Cures in History (University of Chicago Press\, 2020)\, co-editor of Disability and the Victorians: Attitudes\, Legacies\, Interventions (Manchester University Press\, 2020)\, and has published articles on diagnostic technologies\, audiometry\, and the medicalization of deafness.  \nThe Richard B. Davis\, MD\, PhD\, History of Medicine Lectureship brings national experts to the UNMC campus to discuss the history of medicine\, in support of special collections at the McGoogan Library\, including rare books and works on the history of medicine. The lectureship is supported through an endowed fund given by the late Richard B. Davis (1926-2010)\, MD\, PhD\, who was a UNMC faculty member from 1969 to 1994 and professor emeritus of internal medicine at UNMC. Dr. Davis and his wife\, Jean\, provided support for the lectureship out of his longstanding interest in the history of medicine.  \nzcVJfGyZ Z   DOljQCFZ

SUMMARY:Denham Harman\, MD\, PhD Biomedical and Gerontology Lectureship
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Nebraska Medical Center is pleased to announce the 2023 annual visiting professorship named for the internationally-known scientist\, Denham Harman\, MD\, PhD. Dr. Harman’s research on aging was based on the theory that free radicals\, highly reactive molecules freed in the normal chemical process of living\, cause aging and disease through their destructive actions in cells and tissues. Joining UNMC faculty in 1958\, his work done at UNMC established the role of antioxidants in cancer and heart disease. Dr. Harman’s research led to international recognition and awards. Dr. Harman was named chair of the section of gerontology and geriatrics UNMC when it was established in 1973\, the first of any American medical school\, and continued his research as professor emeritus\, internal medicine\, at UNMC until 2010. \nThis years lecture “Synaptic Resilience and Translation to an Alzheimer’s Disease Therapy” will be given by Frank Longo\, MD\, PhD.\, the George E. & Lucy Becker Professor and Chair in the department of Neurology & Neurological Sciences at Stanford University. \nDr. Longo’s  interests include translational research in neurodegenerative disease therapeutics\, providing care in the Stanford Memory Disorders Clinic\, and mentoring medical students and other trainees. He was the recipient of the inaugural Melvin R. Goodes Prize for Excellence in Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery in 2015\, and his team’s work on Alzheimer’s therapeutics was featured on the cover of Time Magazine in 2016. \nThis free event is live in person or available via zoom (password 581835 ).

SUMMARY:Omaha Science Cafe - "Understanding the Aging Brain"
DESCRIPTION:Join Gaelle E. Doucet\, Ph.D.\, Director of the Brain Architecture\, Imaging and Cognition Laboratory at the Boys Town Institute for Human Neuroscience\, for the April 4 Omaha Science Cafe as she presents\, “Understanding the Aging Brain\,” 7pm at the Slowdown.  \nIt is clear that people do not age at the same rate. Scientists are still trying to understand why there are differences amongst individuals\, but factors such as physical activity and education seem to play a significant role in these changes. At this Science Café\, Dr. Doucet will present findings from her scientific research and share what we know about the impact of age on the brain and what can influence it. \nGaelle E. Doucet\, Ph.D.\, is the Director of the Brain Architecture\, Imaging and Cognition Laboratory. For the last 10 years\, Dr. Doucet’ research interests have involved the investigation of the brain’s architecture and its relationship to cognition in health and disease. She is a cognitive neuroscientist with expertise in functional MRI (fMRI)\, and particularly on resting-state fMRI. Her research has involved the use of multi-modal MRI to characterize the brain functional organization and she has applied this technology to answering questions about the impacts of disease on brain functional organization. \nDr. Doucet received her doctoral degree in cognitive neuroscience from the University of Caen (France) in 2010. Her work provided a description of the healthy brain intrinsic organization underlying the complex relationships between brain networks at rest in young adults. This finding offered one of the first schematic models of the brain’s functional architecture and provided a normative framework for the study of intrinsic interactions between brain networks. During her postdoctoral fellowships\, she further investigated the impact of neurological (i.e.\, epilepsy) and neuropsychiatric (i.e.\, schizophrenia and bipolar disorders) disorders on the brain architecture. \nPrior to joining Boys Town National Research Hospital\, Dr. Doucet was an assistant professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (New York\, NY). She has been awarded a grant from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) to identify the brain networks in aging populations. This work aims to provide the first reliable brain functional atlas for older adults. By mapping the brain networks underlying late adulthood\, this work has the potential to elucidate how dysfunction of the brain networks contributes to neurodegenerative conditions. At Boys Town Hospital\, she plans to expand this research by focusing on age-related changes on brain activity and cognition\, from childhood to late adulthood. \nDr. Doucet has authored more than 45 peer-reviewed publications that have been cited more than 1000 times. \nScience Cafés address the latest hot science topics in casual settings like pubs and coffeehouses. The events  are open to everyone (21 and older). \nUsing plain language\, an easygoing atmosphere and inclusive conversation\, these interactive events are welcoming and comfortable for people with no science background. Each presentation is followed by a question-and-answer period.

SUMMARY:13th annual Richard B. Davis\, MD\, PhD\, History of Medicine Lectureship
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Janet Gilsdorf will share stories based on her book\, Continual Raving: A History of Meningitis and the People Who Conquered It\, of how scientists across the 19th and 20th centuries defeated the deadly brain infection meningitis — not through flawless research\, but through a series of serendipitous events\, misplaced assumptions\, and flawed conclusions. The result shows not just how a disease is vanquished\, but how scientific accomplishment can sometimes occur where it is least expected. \n Registration for Zoom is required. \nDr. Gilsdorf\, an alum of the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Medicine\, is the Robert P. Kelch Research Professor Emerita in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Michigan and an infectious diseases physician at C. S. Mott Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor\, Michigan\, where she participates in the diagnosis and management of pediatric patients with complex infectious diseases\, and in the clinical training of medical students\, pediatric residents\, and pediatric infectious diseases fellows. She has published over 100 articles of original research\, most centering around the epidemiology\, molecular characteristics\, and pathogenesis of Haemophilus influenzae. She is a past president of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society (PIDS) and received the PIDS Distinguished Physician award in 2012. In addition to her scientific writing\, she is the author of Inside/Outside: A Physician’s Journey with Breast Cancer (U of Michigan Press)\, Ten Days (a novel from Kensington Books)\, and Continual Raving: The History of Meningitis And The People Who Conquered It (Oxford University Press).  She has published several personal essays in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Emerging Infectious Diseases\, Health Affairs\, and The Examined Life. In 1999 she was awarded the Journal of Internal Medicine Award for Prose. \n  \nThe Richard B.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: Biomedical Scientist Zoltan Takacs
DESCRIPTION:Join us on April 20\, noon\, for a very special Lunch and Learn with National Geographic Live biomedical scientist\, Zoltan Takacs at the Holland Center. This intimate setting will allow you to ask questions related to Earth’s Deadliest Lifesavers and Zoltan Takacs career. \nThe Earth’s deadliest animal venoms are a source of a number of lifesaving medicines used to treat everything from heart attacks to diabetes. Yet there are millions of venom toxins in nature that remain unexplored. Biomedical scientist and inventor Zoltan Takacs collects snake\, scorpion\, jellyfish\, and other venoms from around the world. Back in the lab\, using cutting-edge genomics\, he creates combinatorial venom libraries to identify leads for novel medicines. \n\n\nDriven by his childhood passion\, he’s traveled to 155 countries and become an aircraft pilot\, scuba diver and real-life survivor\, roughing it in a hammock deep in the Amazon or in remote Pacific islands. In his mission\, he survived charging elephants\, pirated waters and a series of snake bites and venom spit in his face (all his faults he admits). Now he’s allergic to both snake venom and antivenom. \n\n\nThis event is free\, though tickets are required. Doors open at 11:30am\, lunch available for purchase. \n  \n\nwRsIJEdxOmn

SUMMARY:Library Speaker Series: Quackery Through the Ages with Lydia Kang\, M.D.
DESCRIPTION:Lobotomies. Bloodletting. Leeches. Arsenic. The usage of dubiously helpful and occasionally harmful treatments have been a mainstay of medical care since the beginning of recorded history. In many cases\, these were done with the hope of a true cure\, but often they were done in the guise of beneficence in order to financially benefit the so-called “snake-oil salesman.” Dr. Lydia Kang will discuss the historical breadth of how medical treatments–both well-intentioned and not–have evolved over time\, and why they are still so stubbornly alive today. \nRegister to receive the Zoom link at https://unmc.zoom.us/j/96168538691?pwd=Zmd0K1laMVk0cmRSNWRaK3BsLy9oUT09

SUMMARY:Science on Screen: "TEKNOLUST"
DESCRIPTION:Join us April 1 & 2 for our Science on Screen program\, “TEKNOLUST: Clones are people two.” We’ll have a pre-recorded\, online Q&A with medical scholars as they converse about parthenogenesis\, modern genetic technologies\, the ethics of cloning\, and the depiction of clones in the film. We are grateful to partner with the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) to host Safwan Elkhatib (Graduate Research Fellow\, UNMC) and Kacie Baum (Events & Engagement Manager\, UNMC).\n\nWatch the Q&A and movie at filmstreamsathome.org\n\nAbout the film:\nA bio-geneticist has created a type of Self Replicating Automaton\, which looks like a human being\, but is in fact part machine and part living organism. Anxious to use artificial life to improve the world\, bio-geneticist Rosetta Stone (Tilda Swinton) downloads her own DNA into her computer and succeeds in breeding three Self Replicating Automatons that are part human\, part intelligent machines. The SRAs act as ‘portals’ on the Internet\, helping users to fulfill their dreams. Because they were bred only with Rosetta’s DNA\, they need the balance of a Y chromosome\, or male sperm\, to survive. This futuristic comedy puts a hilarious spin on contemporary advancements in science and technology.\n\nRegular admission applies.
