The University of Iowa History of Mediciine Society invites you to hear: Harold Williamson speak on The History of the Dept. of Phamacology at the Univ. of Iowa. Thurs. Sept. 27, 5:30-6:30, Room 401 Hardin Library.
Learn about the first 100 years of the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Iowa. The department traces its origins to 1870, when Dr. Philo Judson Farnsworth was appointed to the chair of materia medica, the name of the first offering on drugs. The first two heads of the department (Drs. Farnsworth and Chase) were practicing physicians in Iowa. During their tenure the presentation of drugs moved from materia medica to pharmacology. Beginning with the third head of the department (Dr. Plant), appointments were made to those who had extensive experimental training and research became prominent.
Jennifer Deberg, Clinical Education Librarian for the College of Nursing, has earned the Arthur Benton Excellence in Reference Services Professional Development Award.
Please join us for a celebration on Wednesday, September 26 from 3-4:30pm in the Hardin Library Conference Room 401.
Jennifer was nominated by both The College of Nursing and the Department of Nursing at University of Iowa Healthcare. Jennifer provides one-on-one consults and course integrated training for students, faculty, and staff in these departments as well as other departments.
A permanent exhibit honoring Dr. Robert C. Hardin, for whom the Hardin Library for the Health Sciences is named, is now on display near the Library’s 3rd floor entrance. In addition to performing pioneering research in blood banking and transfusion and in diabetes, Dr. Hardin was instrumental in the current design of the University of Iowa’s health sciences campus.
In addition to the exhibit, more information about Dr. Hardin is available here.

The Hardin Library is closed all day every Saturday there is a home Iowa football game.
This year the library is closed:
The library is closed because public transportation is re-routed or slower due to crowds of football fans. All parking lots are reserved for football fans or on-call staff at UIHC. Walking or riding a bike is difficult on the West Campus before and after football games.
The 24-hour study will be open to those who have access cards.
CLAUDE NICOLAS LE CAT (1700-1768). Traité des sens. Nouvelle ed. Amsterdam: Chez J. Wetstein, 1744.
Le Cat, a man of many interests, was one of France’s foremost surgeons and researchers. Le Cat was interested in the physiology of the nervous system. He was a contemporary of Haller and incorrectly believed, contrary to Haller, that the dura mater and arachnoid were the seat of sensation.
