Placing Women in Medicine: Maude Abbott and the Archaeology of Friendships
This talk is drawn from a chapter of Professor Adams ’ s forthcoming biography of Canadian physician Maude Abbott. It explores how a prominent woman negotiated relationships during the early twentieth century. Abbott spent most of her career at McGill University in Montreal, as curator of its medical museum and as a researcher in congenital heart disease. Nonetheless her network of correspondents was vast. Engaging an approach Professor Adams calls “ friendship archaeology, ” she will excavate Abbott ’ s relationship with two powerful American physicians, Paul Dudley White and Emanuel Libman.

Multicellular control of immunological homeostasis
Hari completed his Ph.D. in Cell Biology at the University of Toronto, Canada, where he employed single-molecule imaging techniques to study multimolecular interactions in individual immune cells. Specifically, he focused on how the dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton regulated receptor diffusion and immune cell signal transduction at fast timescales. In 2016, Hari joined Dr. Ron Germain ’ s lab at the NIH, seeking to understand how the immune response was regulated over much larger spatiotemporal scales. Here, Hari transitioned to studying multicellular systems and their emergent properties within complex tissue environm...
