The National Library of Medicine presents its first annual Lecture on Science, Technology, and Society with a talk from Dr. Kate Crawford. Machine learning systems are already playing a significant role in many of our social institutions, including healthcare, education, hiring and criminal justice.

In this talk, Dr. Crawford shares insights from her new book, Atlas of AI, to show the historical orig...

" A Family Drama: The Sexual Politics of Smallpox Vaccination in the Spanish Empire "
In 1804, the Spanish Crown introduced the smallpox vaccine to its empire, along with orders that vaccination be voluntary and that parents had a right to consent. Yet as families weighed the meaning of this decision, doctors turned to the slave trade, securing the vaccine and its future through bondage. Analyzing this polemic and the politicization of preventative health, my talk draws on collections of the NLM History of Medicine Division, including institutional regulations and vaccination rosters from the Spanish Americas, to trace the vaccine through the greater Caribbean and ask how and why colonial authorities select...

Biomedical Research in France and Its Institutionalization, 1940 – 1970: At the origins of INSERM
French biomedical research is often associated with Louis Pasteur and the Institute that bears his name, created in 1887 thanks to an international public subscription. This long-term success also reveals the very insufficient commitment of French universities to research at that time. This is why, during the 20th century, the State in France engaged in growing support for scientific research by creating specific institutions distinct from universities. The foundation of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in 1939 was a major turning point in this respect. While the CNRS, which developed strongly after ...

Oncology nurses are at the forefront of care for patients with pancreatic cancer, a much-feared disease whose management was for years characterized by modestly effective treatment options. The recent emergence of new cytotoxic platforms combined with rapid research on potent targeted therapies has made the role of the nurse as a caregiver and educator more important than ever, particularly because these new options differ greatly from conventional chemotherapy strategies. In this activity based on a recent live symposium held in Anaheim during the Oncology Nursing Society’s (ONS) 44th Annual Congress, expert nurse facul...
