“Gross-tober: Images from the History of Medicine,” will be presented by Erin Torell, archives associate, and John Schleicher, associate professor and head of special collections at UNMC’s McGoogan Library of Medicine at tonight’s Omaha Science Cafe, at 7 p.m. at the Slowdown, 729 N. 14th St.<\/p>\n

Schleicher and Torell will showcase gross, odd and unusual medical images from the library’s History of Medicine Collection. Attendees can view images of dermatologic and venereal diseases on stereoscope cards and 3D reproductions of diseases and conditions created with wax on plaster, called moulages.<\/i> <\/p>\n

Schleicher and Torell also will provide images of amputations, gunshot wounds, obstetrics and eye diseases from books and resources used to educate doctors from the 1890s through the 1940s.<\/p>\n

Science Cafes involve a face-to-face conversation with a scientist about current science topics. They are open to everyone (21 and older) and take place in casual settings like pubs and coffeehouses. Each meeting is organized around an interesting topic of conversation. A scientist gives a brief presentation followed by a question and answer period.<\/p>\n

Pizza will be provided for the first 50 people. For more information about Science Cafes, click here<\/a>. Podcasts of previous Science Cafes also are available on the website or available for download on iTunes here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
