Dr. Larry R. Kaiser, MD, FACS, FCPP, President and CEO of The College of Physicians of Philadelphia discussed the organization, the oldest and most distinguished private medical society in America, and its public spaces, the Mutter Museum and Benjamin Rush Medicinal Garden. The College, founded in 1787 by 24 prominent Philadelphia physicians, including Dr. Benjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, is an elected Fellowship organization of over 1,000 physicians, scientists, scholars, and community leaders committed to making meaningful contributions to patient care, public health, and advancing medical knowledge and education. Today its mission is to serve as a trusted educational resource and to further the understanding of health and disease for the betterment of society. The college is also a major resource center to scholarly research into medicine and its history, with the Historical Medical Library and its collection of rare books, medical journals and manuscripts. Dr. Kaiser discussed his biggest initiative, strengthening the Fellowship, building its membership and engagement, creating a Fellows Hub and increasing participation in the different ‘Sections’ devoted to special interests. He also spoke about the College’s outreach programming to local schools and educators, creating STEM and other curricula to encourage the next generation of physicians, scientists and researchers. We discussed the Mutter Museum, which shares stories of medicine and public health through incredible collections of rare books, archives, historical objects, and biological specimens. He discussed its current exhibit open to Museum visitors, Trusted Messengers: Community, Confidence, and COVID-19, which marks the five year anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic and considers how to build trust in public health. Initially developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Museum in Atlanta, the Philadelphia version features materials used in the development of the COVID vaccine at Penn and spotlights local healthcare workers and organizations.Tickets may be purchased at www.muttermuseum.org. · Exhibition web link: http://muttermuseum.org/on-view/trusted-messengers We also discussed a special library exhibition on view now on weekends in the Norris Reading Room, Medicine and Mentorship: From the Archives. It highlights the many pathways physicians and other healers in the United States have followed to learn the art and science of medicine - as apprentices to other physicians, in private anatomy schools, and at home, using printed guides. The College also produces and hosts The History of Vaccines, an online resource to provide a living, changing chronicle of the compelling history of vaccination. The site aims to increase public knowledge and understanding of the ways in which vaccines, toxoids, and passive immunization work, how they have been developed, and the role they have played in the improvement of human health. The site also discusses some of the controversies about vaccination and some of the challenges, difficulties, and tragic events that have occurred in the use of vaccines.Finally, we talked about membership and the activities hosted by the College and Museum throughout the year. The annual Radiant Ball honors Marie Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and one of the most important figures in the history of medicine, happening this year on April 25. There will be shimmering green lighting and Philly’s favorite hot jazz band, Drew Nugent & The Midnight Society, leading an evening of dancing with after-hours access to the museum, light bites, a silent auction, and access to rarely seen collection items related to Curie’s visit and work. Mütter's Day Brunch: On May 11th they will host a Members and Fellows Appreciation brunch event at the Museum. It will include food, refreshments, Museum admision, and a 20% discount in our Museum store. collegeofphysicians.orgmuttermuseum.org

Le 16 novembre 1945, le prix Nobel de chimie est décerné au chimiste allemand Otto Hahn pour la découverte de la fission nucléaire. Une récompense qui aurait également dû être attribuée à son binôme, Lise Meitner, physico-chimiste autrichienne avec qui il a étroitement collaboré pendant 30 ans. Elle est à l'origine de la série d'expériences qui ont mené à la découverte de la fission des noyaux lourds en 1938. Sa condition de femme et de femme juive ont été autant de contraintes dont la brillante scientifique a dû s'affranchir pour poursuivre ses recherches. Avec Jacques Treiler, Physicien théoricien, ancien professeur à l'Université Pierre et Marie Curie à Paris, Yasmine Boudaka évoque le parcours de celle que l'on surnommait la Marie Curie autrichienne, la grand-mère de la bombe atomique et qui a pourtant toujours refusé de travailler à sa réalisation.

This week, we'll delve into a cautionary tale: the "Radium Girls." These women were employed to paint glow in the dark numbers on watch faces and dials in the 1920s and 30s using radium paint. Assured that the paint was safe, the girls were instructed to shape their paintbrushes into sharp points with their own lips. But, turns out, ingesting radioactive radium paint isn't safe at all, and as the women became sick and sicker and died, the companies they worked for chose to gaslight them, refusing to take responsibility all while lining their pockets with profits. But these women fought back, standing up while laying down and their fight set an important precedent we can't afford to forget.

What if Gertrude had more power than we thought? What if Ophelia's fate wasn't sealed from the start? And what does it really mean to mother a prince who might be losing his mind? Playwright Lauren Gunderson, one of the most produced living playwrights in America, takes on Hamlet in her latest play, A Room in the Castle. This sharp, feminist reimagining follows Ophelia, her handmaid, and Queen Gertrude as they navigate the dangers of Elsinore, wrestling with the weight of survival, duty, and defiant hope in the face of chaos. Gunderson, known for her witty and powerful storytelling in The Book of Will and The Half-Life of Marie Curie, discusses how she reclaims the voices of Hamlet‘s women, why Gertrude's famous speech about Ophelia's drowning might not be as simple as it seems, and how she crafted new ending that brings new light to Shakespeare's most famous tragedy. >> Get your tickets to Folger Theatre's A Room in the Castle, a co-production with Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, on stage March 4 – April 6

Dr. Jordan uses stories of eminent people like scientist Marie Curie, violinist Itzhak Perlman, and actor James Earl Jones to demonstrate how allowing girls to overcome adversity helps them to develop courage, resilience, self-esteem, grit, and optimism. The reason the butterfly pushes against the sides of her cocoon is to push fluids down the length of her wings in order to strengthen them in preparation for flying. It was this struggling that allowed her to be ready to survive and thrive.And so it is with our children.For more resources on this topic, go to Dr. Jordan's website at www.drtimjordan.comJoin Our Community:https://www.facebook.com/DrTimJordanhttps://www.instagram.com/drtimjordan/https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-jordan-md-79799120b/

Silvia Merialdo"A Parigi con Marie Curie"Andrea scopre la radioattivitàEdizioni Dedalowww.edizionidedalo.itAndrea parte per Parigi insieme alla zia che deve seguire una conferenza alla prestigiosa Università La Sorbona. Qui incontrerà per la prima volta la grande scienziata Marie Curie, che le racconterà le sue scoperte sulla radioattività che la portarono a vincere ben due premi Nobel.Cos'è la radioattività? Come funzionano le radiografie? Un viaggio a Parigi diventa per Andrea l'occasione di incontrare Marie Curie, la prima donna a vincere il premio Nobel, anzi a riceverne addirittura due. In questa nuova avventura Andrea accompagna la zia alla Sorbona, visita il Pantheon, sale sulla torre Eiffel, e intanto scopre i misteri del mondo atomico con la scienziata più famosa di tutti i tempi.Andrea è in aeroporto con zia Paola, davanti ai controlli di sicurezza. «Vieni, dobbiamo mettere i nostri bagagli a mano qui dentro» dice la zia.La ragazzina prende il suo zainetto e lo sistema sul nastro assieme alle valigie degli altri viaggiatori, poi passa sotto il metal detector e va a sbirciare sul computer della poliziotta alla fine dei controlli di sicurezza. Sullo schermo appare il contenuto di tutte le borse che passano all'interno della macchina per il controllo bagagli.«Zia! Si vedono il libro e la macchina fotografica dentro il mio zaino! E anche le mollette per i capelli!».«Si assicurano che tu non porti a bordo oggetti pericolosi. Però adesso recupera lo zaino e andiamo a prendere l'aereo».«Certo, non voglio perderlo, Parigi ci aspetta!».Dopo il decollo dell'aereo, Andrea chiede alla zia: «Come si fa a vedere all'interno di una borsa?».«Con i raggi X. Hai presente? Gli stessi che vengono usati per fare le radiografie alle ossa».«Purtroppo, sì. Me ne hanno fatta una quando mi sono rotta il braccio. Ma cosa sono esattamente i raggi X?».«Hanno la stessa natura della luce, ma un'energia maggiore».«Mi piacerebbe avere una macchina a raggi X, così potrei fare un mucchio di radiografie a me e ai miei giocattoli» osserva Andrea.«Però dovresti stare attenta: troppe radiazioni fanno male al corpo umano e possono causare malattie» avverte Paola. «Allora meglio di no!».Silvia Merialdo è laureata in fisica nucleare. Dopo la laurea ha avuto diverse esperienze di ricerca scientifica nel Regno Unito e in Germania. La passione per il mondo del libro l'ha poi riportata in Italia e oggi lavora per la Zanichelli come redattrice di testi di fisica per la scuola.

Tonight on Veritas, we confront one of the most deeply ingrained fears of the modern era. For over 75 years, the world has been held in a collective grip of terror, conditioned to believe in the ultimate weapon of destruction: nuclear bombs. But what if that fear is based on a carefully constructed myth? What if Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not what we've been told? Our guest tonight is Crow from Crrow777Radio.com, who challenges the mainstream narrative of nuclear weapons. With years of meticulous research and a commitment to uncovering hidden truths, Crow will guide us through the symbolic and occult foundations of the nuclear age. He'll expose the inconsistencies in historical accounts and question the very science behind nuclear fission itself. We'll explore the role of figures like Marie Curie, whose story may have been less about scientific discovery and more about advancing a carefully crafted myth. We'll dissect how media, science, and government worked together to embed this fear into our collective consciousness. But this isn't just about the past. It's about understanding how fear is weaponized to control us, how symbols and archetypes are used to influence our beliefs, and how to make conscious decisions at the crossroads where truth and deception meet. Prepare to challenge everything you think you know. Because here on Veritas, truth is our guiding light, even when it leads us into the darkest corners of deception.

Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911. She's famous for her work in radioactivity. Lin-Manual Miranda is a songwriter, producer and director who won the Pulitzer Prize in Drama in 2016, as well as several Tony awards. What do they have in common? They lived a century apart. They innovated in disparate fields. But they shared a similar productivity practice. Both achieved greatness by embracing the practice of slow productivity, says Georgetown computer science professor Cal Newport. Slow productivity is a three-part practice, Newport explains: (1) do fewer things; (2) work at a natural pace; (3) obsess over quality. We're used to thinking of productivity as doing more in a short amount of time. This flips that idea on its head, focusing on doing less, but excelling. Slow productivity is the practice of doing fewer tasks better. In this episode, Newport explains how the practice of slow productivity diverges from the normal ways that people in modern society tend to work. Life can be stressful. Your to-do list might feel never-ending. This episode can help you focus on the few things that matter most. It can help you feel less stressed, less busy, and yet — paradoxically — more productive, at the same time.

When you consider someone's legacy in science, you might think about their biggest discovery, their list of publications, or their titles, awards, and prizes. But another kind of scientific legacy involves the students and colleagues that passed through a scientist's orbit over the course of a career.A new book, The Elements of Marie Curie: How the Glow of Radium Lit a Path for Women in Science, takes a look at the legacy of Madame Marie Curie, one of the most recognizable names in science history. But instead of looking only at Curie's own life, author Dava Sobel views her through the lens of some of the 45 women who trained in Curie's lab during her research into radioactivity.Ira Flatow talks with Sobel about her research into Curie's life, some of the anecdotes from the book, and how she interacted with some of her lab assistants and colleagues.Transcript for this segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Marie Curie was an extraordinary woman who, alongside her husband Pierre, turned the scientific world on its head. Their work led to the discovery of new elements, and a previously unknown process, called radioactivity. Over the course of a 40-year career, Marie Curie faced daunting challenges - from personal choices, to devastating health issues. But how did one woman make the journey from struggling immigrant to internationally recognised scientist? How important was her partnership with her husband? And what is the legacy of the research she began in a disused storeroom over a century ago. This is a Short History Of Marie Curie. A Noiser Production. Written by Kate Harrison.
