SUMMARY:16th annual Richard B. Davis\, MD\, PhD History of Medicine Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Discover the true story of the Black Angels at the 16th annual Richard B. Davis\, MD\, PhD History of Medicine Lecture on April 16\, from noon–1 pm\, online via Zoom (registration required). \nAuthor Maria Smilios learned about the Black Angels while working as a science book editor at Springer Publishing. As a native New Yorker and lover of history\, medicine\, and women’s narratives\, she became determined to tell their story. \n“The Black Angels” is the true story of the Black nurses who\, in 1929\, wagered their lives by leaving the Jim Crow south and went north to work on an isolated hilltop in Staten Island at Sea View Hospital. The “pest house” was an overcrowded municipal tuberculosis sanatorium where the city sent its poorest residents\, considered “uncouth and un-American consumptives” to languish and die. \nInterested in attending the lecture? Register to attend via Zoom.

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 ).
