Films and Essays from NLM: Medicine on Screen

What motivates a rare book collector? This week's Circulating Now blog post looks at the legacy of Thomas Windsor, whose lifetime investment in books enriched the growing collections of the Library of the Surgeon General's Office (now NLM!).
Maxine Singer (born 1931) is a leading molecular biologist and science advocate. She has made important contributions to the deciphering of the genetic code and to our understanding of RNA and DNA, the chemical elements of heredity. She helped organize the landmark Asilomar Conference in February 1975, at which scientists agreed to impose restrictions on the new and controversial science of recombinant DNA, and to develop a framework for removing these restrictions as knowledge of the science advanced. From 1988 to 2002, Dr. Singer was president of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, a position in which she not only reinvigorated the Institution's scientific programs, but served as an effective champion of women in science, of improvements in science education, and of scientists who engage in public policy debates.
"To use what I saw—as a 12-year-old girl—my God-given talents to help someone. Medicine seemed to me to be the most noble of endeavors."— Dr. Bernadine Healy
#OTD in 1845, physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen was born in Lennep, Germany. Fifty years later, his discovery of the #XRay (also known as the #Roentgen ray) changed the world and laid the foundation of modern radiology. In 1901, he was awarded the first Nobel Prize in Physics "in recognition of the extraordinary services he has rendered by the discovery of the remarkable rays subsequently named after him."
In celebration of #WomensHistoryMonth, we are featuring a portrait of Dr. Anita Newcomb McGee (1864-1940), best known as the founder of the Army Nurse Corps in 1901.
