Museum Exhibit for D.C. Readers
By Christopher Albon, June 18th, 2008,
A short notice for readers in the D.C. area. The NIH’s National Library of Medicine has a new exhibit on the health effects of conflict called The Legacy of War.
Located on the campus of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland (just outside of Washington, DC), the exhibit examines the revolution in global health taking place in towns and cities around the world. Communities, in collaboration with scientists, advocates, governments, and international organizations, are working on an international level to investigate complex global health issues, ranging from community health and conflict to disease and discrimination.
Free of charge and open to the public, this exhibition introduces some of the scientists, advocates, communities, and organizations who have made a difference—working together, against the odds, for the benefit of all. [Emphasis mine]
If you are in the area, check it out. Let us know if it is good.
