Designing Motherhood | Virtual Tour Mütter Museum of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia 2023-05-14 | Designing Motherhood was on display at the Mütter Museum from May 2021 through May 2022. Although the exhibit is no longer up, you can still enjoy it in this comprehensive virtual tour with our very own curator, Anna Dhody, and Gabriella Nelson from the Maternity Care Coalition!About the exhibit:While being born is a universal human experience, the designs that shape it are not. Many remain taboo, rarely considered, and inaccessible to many. Designing Motherhood invites you to consider why and how we have developed designs to facilitate reproductive health, and to ponder the political, economic, and social implications of how we medicalize reproduction. For more information, please visit:designingmotherhood.orgmuttermuseum.org/exhibitions/designing-motherhoodThis exhibition was organized as a collaboration between the Designing Motherhood curatorial team, the Mütter Museum, and thought leaders Maternity Care Coalition, a direct-service organization that ensures families can birth with dignity, parent with autonomy, and raise babies who are healthy, growing, and thriving.Follow Designing Motherhood on Instagram: instagram.com/designingmotherhoodTo support more videos like this, become a monthly donor!

Banned Books in the Historical Medical Library | Historical Happy Hour Mütter Museum of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia 2022-10-31 | Join Historical Medical Library Director Heidi Nance as she discusses Banned Books in our Historical Medical Library.Gutenberg printed his famous Gutenberg Bible sometime between 1452 and 1455. Within less than 100 years, the church, universities, and other authorities threatened by the unprecedented rapid spread of information issued lists of prohibited works by title or author. Many of these books made their way into our library stacks.Come learn about what salacious information lives in books by Arnaldus de Villa Nova, a Catalonian physician, religious reformer, alchemist, and astrologer (like most wise men of his time!). Or "A regiment: how to protect yourself from the new plague called the English Schwaisz: and if you are caught with it, you should keep in it," by Cordus, Euricius (1486-1535), considered one of the founders of German botany. Or, what scandalous recipes are included in Konrad Gesner's (1516-1565) tome, "On secret remedies: a book of physicists, physicians, and partly also chemists, and economists in the preparation of wines of different flavors, especially for physicians and pharmacists” (loosely translated from the original Latin title). When a book is banned, what happens? What's the difference between being banned and being censored? Even today, what barriers to accurate medical information continue to exist?To support more videos like this, become a monthly donor!

Innovations in Art & Medicine: 500 Years of Collaborations | Bernard Behrend Lecture 2022 Mütter Museum of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia 2022-07-15 | Until very recently, artists and doctors were regular partners in advancing our understanding of the human body. From Leonardo da Vinci to Anna Coleman Ladd, the unique way that artists “see” the human body has moved scientific understanding forward, and Philadelphia’s artists and institutions have played a central role in advancing both fields. More recently, contemporary artists have begun to ask us to consider the limits and possibilities of medical research, public health policy and wellness rhetoric by incorporating medical technologies into their practices, and this talk will take a whirlwind tour through the collaborative advancements of the past and the essential questions about medicine and science posed by artists of the present.Monica Zimmerman oversees PAFA's robust and diverse public-facing initiatives, including educational programming for museum visitors, lifelong learners in studio classes, medical and business professionals and students and teachers from area schools. Her portfolio at PAFA includes Visitor Services, Youth and Family Programs, Pre-College Programs, Continuing Education, and Museum Exhibitions and Programming. These teams work collaboratively across the institution to build and sustain new audiences for both PAFA's college and museum, with a focus on multi-disciplinary interpretation and programming, data-driven engagement strategies, and customized, empathy-focused experiences for every visitor.Zimmerman has been instrumental in strategically aligning PAFA to be more community-focused, with a clear and unwavering commitment to the communities and neighborhoods of Philadelphia. In 2011, her team instituted the School and Community Partnership program, a literacy-focused bilingual arts education initiative working to mitigate the traumas of immigration and poverty in North Kensington. In 2013, they developed the Teen Leadership Education and Development (Teen LEAD) program to provide workforce and college readiness skills to students around the region. In 2020, in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, they instituted the Humanities, Empathy and the Arts programming (The HEART Program), using virtual programming to connect audiences around the globe to art and how it can broaden our understanding of how to live, work, love and raise our children.Zimmerman joined the PAFA team in 2005 from the University of the Arts Museum Studies program after working in the education department at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Zimmerman holds a B.A. in English from Goshen College, an M.A. in Museum Communication from the University of the Arts and teaches actively at Camden County College, Jefferson Medical School and Cooper Medical School, among other appointments.About Bernard Behrend, MD, FCPP (1908-2004)Dr. Behrend was an internist with a subspecialty in Occupational and Industrial Medicine.

Haste Makes Waste: Management a Matter of Social Equity | Science on Tap Philadelphia Mütter Museum of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia 2022-02-10 | Waste and disposal are a little considered part of our daily lives; where does that old smart phone go when it stops working? Looking at only short-term solutions has led us to social and environmental inequity. Dumping, landfills, metal salvage facilities are often in underserved communities; the interest in profits over people has led us to policies that have given over the control over critical resources to other political entities. In this month’s virtual Science on Tap, Marta Guron, PhD and Managing Director of the Center for Sustainable Separation of Metals will take us through these issues and look at the longer term impacts and potential solutions around sustainably sourced critical metals. Dr. Marta Guron received her BA in Chemistry at Cornell, followed by a PhD in Inorganic Chemistry at Penn. She has dedicated her career to sustainability, chemical education and finding a voice for women and minorities in STEM. Having run countless outreach events from the preschool to middle school levels and having taught at levels ranging from high school to graduate school, she combines her love of science and interest in sustainability with a dedication to clear communication about important sustainability issues, particularly in waste management. She has published both on laboratory research and chemical education and has been quoted in both mainstream and niche periodicals as an expert in waste management. She now serves as the Managing Director of the NSF funded Center for Sustainable Separations of Metals, combining her passion for sustainability and her work in Inorganic Chemistry.For more information about Science on Tap events, visit: scienceontapphilly.comTo support more videos like this, become a monthly donor!
