Upcoming Medical History Interest Group Lecture on Monday November 14

The Laupus Library History Collections & the Department of Bioethics & Interdisciplinary Studies sponsor the Medical History Interest Group presentations as an education services for the East Carolina University Committee. As part of the Medical History Interest Group Lecture Series, Bobby M. Collins, Clinical Associate Professor with the ECU School of Dental Medicine and John M. Lehman, Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine with the Brody School of Medicine will discuss the history of bioterrorism. Bioterror has its origins in the biological warfare of ancient history. Diseased animals either as part of a herd or launched over castle walls served to sicken a populace. Later, various human or animal wastes, carcasses, and toxins were used to specifically decrement or decimate an enemy.
