Join us next week to welcome Randall Sell, ScD of Drexel University for the next #NLMHistTalk, "'We’re here, we’re queer, get used to it': Struggles and Stories to Be Heard for Today and Tomorrow." Read an interview with Dr. Sell this week in the latest post from the Circulating Now blog to learn more about his research and upcoming talk (🔗 Link in Bio).

The #PetriDish is a common laboratory tool used to culture different cells and microorganisms. Why is it called a "Petri" dish? The transparent lidded dish is named after Julius Richard Petri (born #OnThisDay in 1852) who worked as an assistant to the renowned microbiologist Robert Koch. In 1887, after struggling with dust and extra bacteria in samples, Petri tweaked Koch's plating design to reduce contamination. After almost 140 years, the design has remained the same.

For #TitlePageTuesday, we pulled 'The Wound Dresser: a Series of Letters Written from the Hospitals in Washington during the War of the Rebellion' (Boston, 1898) by American poet, essayist, and journalist Walt Whitman. Whitman (born May 31, 1819) served as a volunteer during the American Civil War, visiting sick and wounded soldiers in the military hospitals. The book opens with Whitman's famous poem of the same title, followed by published essays and his wartime correspondence.

On Memorial Day, we honor and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. "Our New Memorial" was printed on May 31, 1919, in the 10th issue of "The Ward," a periodical published by and for the enlisted men of U.S. Army Hospital No. 12 in Biltmore, North Carolina. The poem at the start of the article reads,

For #FloralFriday, we've picked an engraved and hand-colored illustration (Image 1) of the "female piony" (Paeonia faemina, Plate 65) from the first volume of Elizabeth Blackwell's A Curious Herbal, printed in London in 1737. Just outside, the peony flowers (Image 2) in the NLM Herb Garden bloomed with a welcomed burst of color for spring.

In the 1930s/1940s, cinema—#PublicHealth films included—was having a moment. With the onset of World War II, the U.S. military had much to say and show audiences of soldiers and the public. Often in league with well-regarded filmmakers, the government sought to inform, inspire, and educate military men and women as well as the masses at home.
