News and Announcements
- On Tuesday this week, the traveling exhibit “Changing the Face of Medicine: Celebrating America’s Women Physicians” opened in the Allen Memorial Medical Library in the Dittrick Medical History Center. Running through December 20, the exhibit tells the extraordinary story of how American women who wanted to practice medicine have struggled over the past two centuries to gain access to medical education and to work in the medical specialty they chose. There will be free programs and other events scheduled in connection with the exhibition. For more information, visit http://www.case.edu/artsci/dittrick/site2/news/faces.htm.
- The Center for Research on Tibet, based in the department of anthropology in Arts and Sciences, has received funding in 2005 for a series of new projects on Tibet and adaptation to high altitude hypoxia. Anthropology professors Cynthia Beall and Melvyn C. Goldstein, who also directs the Center, are the principal investigators or co-principal investigators on the projects.
