Introduction by Joan Ilacqua, Project Archivist for the Archives for Women in Medicine

Presented by the Archives for Women in Medicine, a program of the Francis A. Countway Library of Medicine’s Center for the History of Medicine, in partnership with the Foundation for the History of Women in Medicine.]]>
Christina J. Hodge and Michele E. Morgan will outline the osteological, archaeological, and archival approaches to studying the collection of anatomized skeletal material found under Harvard’s Holden Chapel to illuminate the social and institutional contexts of early nineteenth-century anatomization. Naomi Slipp will look at anatomy from an artistic perspective, examining the materials produced by Dr. Henry Jacob Bigelow and artist Oscar Wallis as an example of the collaboration of 19th-century American art and medicine. And Sabine Hildebrandt, an internationally recognized expert on the ethics and history of anatomy in National Socialist Germany, will discuss the ethics of Eduard Pernkopf’s anatomy studies.

1:07:33 - “Ethical transgressions in anatomy during the Third Reich: The Pernkopf story” by Sabine Hildebrandt]]> Final cut of an interview with cardiologist and International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) co-founder Bernard Lown held by Emily R. Novak Gustainis and Heather Cristiano at Lown's house in Newton, Massachusetts. Interview was conducted for a presentation at the Wellcome Library, London, England on 27 June 2014 as part of the symposium Beds not bombs: Exploring the archives of anti-nuclear medical campaigning and protest ("Against the Unimaginable and Unpredictable: Contextualizing the Records of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War"). The symposium was held to celebrate the opening of the Medact archive. 

In the interview, Lown discusses: founding Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR); why he felt physicians were the right people to address the issue of nuclear war when he founded IPPNW; the role uncertainty about the nature and outcome of nuclear war factored in to his motivation to act against the threat that atomic warfare posed to human society; the role of MAPW (Medical Association for Prevention of War) and MCANW (Medical Campaign Against Nuclear Weapons) members within IPPNW; and the future of his own work as a physician activist.
