Cushing Center Field Trip (aka Brains, Books & Bones)

Several of us visited the Cushing Center at the Harvey Cushing/John Hay Whitney Medical Library at Yale.  The center curates hundreds of preserved brains and tumors that were collected by Dr. Harvey Cushing - the "father" of neurosurgery. He also collected antique books, many of which were related to science and medicine.  We got an incredible tour from Terry Dagradi, the coordinator of the center. 

We also got a chance to look at the fetal skeletons that Erika D will work with this semester.

And, we met Finn, the therapy dog who passes out happiness to anyone visiting the library.

Happy Darwin Day!

QU students celebrated Darwin Day in Buckman Center. With donuts, coffee, and "I select you. Naturally!" Valentine's day cards, students had a chance to celebrate Charles Darwin, and his Theory of Evolution. Activities included examining the skulls of some human ancestors, and taking a short "True or False?" quiz about evolution as we know it. The event was hosted  by Professor Ullinger, a professor of anthropology, and Professor Keller, a professor in Biology.
