On Monday, September 17, the Calder Library opened the Suresh Atapattu Space Shuttle Photos Display and Sale, organized by Biomedical & Scholarly Communications, to honor Suresh’s space shuttle photography spanning more than a decade, and to support United Way. Suresh was granted unprecedented access and permission by NASA to document space shuttle processing at Kennedy Space Center. Fifteen studio-quality photographs of Suresh’s amazing space shuttle photos will be on display and prints can be purchased for your personal collection or as gifts during the upcoming holiday season. Other photos will also be available. Biomedical Communications’ graphic designers and photographers will expertly print any photo using archival paper and inks for any standard frame size you choose. All proceeds above the cost of printing will be donated to United Way.

 

Suresh Atapattu is a Biomedical Engineer and Research Director at the Biomedical Signals and Sensor Laboratory at the UM International Medicine Institute. He received the 2001 Young Investigator Award from the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation for his HRV thesis work at the University of Miami. A sample of Suresh's NASA photography may be viewed at this Website: http://tinyurl.com/9sfj3rk

The prints are priced at $12 per square foot. Biomedical & Scholarly Communications will retain half the fee to recover costs and the remaining half will be donated to United Way. Other materials, such as tubes and foam board, will be sold at their usual price. Standard poster frame sizes and prices:

 

16x20 $27
18x24 $36
22x28 $52
24x36 $72

--Make you an in-demand guest at family and social gatherings this summer (maybe).
--Increase your emotional intelligence.
--Improve your analytic thinking skills.
--Best of all, keep your finely honed brain in tip top shape.

The Calder Library’s newest display, “A History of Magnifying Glasses,” is now open outside the History of Medicine room on the third floor. Come see our collection of historic and unique magnifying glasses, including a beautiful Korean magnifying glass with mythological figures carved into the handle and an ivory and brass magnifying glass dating from the Qing Dynasty. The display also features a timeline tracing the history of lenses from 2600 BC Egypt to today’s most popular websites, pictures of magnifying glasses used in science and medicine (including Darwin’s own), and photographs of the first microscope and telescope.

In addition, the display on cupping, also located outside the History of Medicine room, has been updated with new information on the efficacy of this alternative medical treatment.

Please let us know what you think of the displays or suggest ideas for future displays in the comments below.

If you’re like me, you have scads of unused cosmetic samples, travel-sized soaps, toiletries, and shampoos that clutter up precious space. Why not get rid of that unused, new, failed beauty product, or “hotel fruit” and help a worthy cause?

Medical Students in Action has placed a brightly colored, lime green bin at the entrance to the library, and will be collecting new toiletries and hygiene products for their next mission to the Dominican Republic.
