New display cases in three buildings on campus
New display cases have been installed around campus. Read a comic book about Joseph Goldberger’s work in pellagra in the early 20th century at the Building 1, 3rd floor case. Be amazed at the variety of Clinical Center patches near the Hospitality Desk on the 1st floor of the Clinical Center. Think about the social context of coloring books from the Clinical Center by its 2nd floor cafeteria. And salute a leading woman investigator, Dr. Margaret Pittman, in the Building 60 lobby. Two cases are coming to the Vaccine Research Center, and one to Building 6.
A new set of neuroanatomy drawings by Santiago Ramón y Cajal was installed in Building 35.
Current set of seven neuroanatomy drawings by Santiago Ramón y Cajal will remain on rotation in Building 35.
The drawings date back to the turn of the last century when Santiago Ramón y Cajal shared the Nobel Prize (1906) with Camillo Golgi for their work on the structure of the nervous system. We thank our partners at the Cajal Institute in Madrid, Spain for making this exhibit possible. You can see the original drawings, or touch 3-D prints of enlarged drawing details, until September.
