Summary:
Dorothy Waters grew up in the Black Oak neighborhood of Calumet Township and her parents owned farm land near the Chase Street spring in Small Farms. Waters and her siblings pulled weeds in their fields at night and quenched their thirst by drinking from the well on Chase Street. "We would pull weeds, we'd run up and down that big sand hill. And then we walked down and we get a drink at that spring. ... I just loved drinking from that spring."

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most pressing global health issues of the 21st century and is worsening with the COVID-19 pandemic. With existing antibiotics losing potency and limited classes of antibiotics in the pipeline, alternatives are needed to battle multi-drug resistant bacterial infections ("superbugs"). Through the lens of her family’s personal experience with a deadly superbug infection, Dr. Strathdee’s presentation focuses on the medical history of viruses that attack bacteria (bacteriophage, or phage) and how they have been used to treat superbug infections for over 100 years. Dr. Strathdee also discusses the reasons why bacteriophage therapy fell out of favor in the West (drawing from research conducted by medical historian Dr. William Summer), recent advances in phage therapy that led to the founding of the first dedicated phage therapy institute in North America (IPATH), and the role of her family’s case in the process.

This talk examines the deaths of the crew members of the Civil War submarine H.L. Hunley as a case study of blast trauma injury patterns. The lungs are the most easily injured organs in a blast and often drive the overall risk level of the exposure. Dr. Lance discusses the developing topic of blast neurotrauma and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) that so frequently affects today’s veterans. The pulmonary and neurological risk of blast trauma to the crew of the Hunley formed a portion of Lance’s doctoral research on underwater blast trauma, and her experiments on the topic are described in her 2020 book: In the Waves: My Quest to Solve the Mystery of a Civil War Submarine.

Lecture delivered by Richard B. Gunderman, MD, PhD (Chancellor's Professor of Radiology, Pediatrics, Medical Education, Philosophy, Liberal Arts, Philanthropy, and Medical Humanities and Health Studies, Indiana University) on April 14, 2022. Eugenicists in the United States, building on the scientific breakthroughs of Charles Darwin and others, aimed to protect the human gene pool by preventing so-called “inferior” human beings from reproducing. What they unleashed, however, was a terrible tide of dehumanization and inhumanity, both in Indiana and in Europe. The lessons of their efforts, though difficult to contemplate, must never be forgotten.
