Microbes have altered human history. From DNA to Beer: Harnessing Nature in Medicine and Industry, a traveling exhibit from the National Library of Medicine (NLM), explores this history. The exhibit presents five case studies of major scientific and medical accomplishments in the fields of biotechnology from the mid-19th century to the beginning of the biotech industry. Drawing from the collections of the National Museum of American History and the NLM, the exhibit looks at processes, problems and potentials of the efforts to adapt microbes for health and profit. It showcases the union of science and industry and considers how best to market and produce such discoveries to the public at large. The exhibit will be on view in the library from May 8 to June 17. |
