Dear Colleagues,

Please join us next week for two very special events: 

Annual Associates Lecture Presented by Douglas Melton 

On Wednesday, May 4, Douglas Melton, a leading researcher in the
field of human
embryonic stem cells, will present the keynote address for the 57th
annual
lecture sponsored by the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library Associates.
Melton is the Thomas Dudley Cabot Professor of the Natural Sciences at
Harvard University
and investigator for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.  He is
also co-director of Harvard’s 
Stem Cell Institute.

The lecture “The Future of Pancreatic Stem Cells and Diabetes”
will begin at 4:00
p.m. in Harkness Auditorium.   A ribbon-cutting ceremony at
3:00 p.m. will mark
the opening of the adjunct exhibit “Stem Cells ­ Potential Clinical
Applications in the 
Medical Library.  A reception in the Medical Historical Library
follows the lecture.   


Birthday Bash at the Medical Library

Please join us on Thursday, May 5, as the Cushing/Whitney Medical
Library
celebrates its 64th birthday!  Activities begin at 11:00 and
continue to 4:00.

Special mini-classes run from 11-2:30 ­ samplings include “Getting the
most from your PDA,” 
“Cool PubMed Tricks,” and “Blogging ­ a Guided Tour.”   We’re
also offering a Mini Med School with
dissection (of your research question) and surgical knots (how to tie a
bowtie).

our redesigned web site, and learn some fun facts about the
library.  Take
special tours of art in the library and see some of our historical
treasures.

Or just come to hear the Ultrasounds sing (1:00 p.m.), eat cake (3:00
