After working at Malcolm Bliss Mental Health Center for two years and I eased into private practice in adult psychiatry in St. Louis County. The coalition included the EMPS, the National Alliance for Mental Illness, the Mental Health Association, the Depressive/Manic Depressive Association, Recovery Inc., and several hospitals. In 1989, I was Vice President under Dan O? When I was called upon to travel to the legislature to testify in front of hearings in February 2007, I was fortunate to be in Washington DC during the introduction of the Mental Health Parity Bill.

The limitations of standard histologic \"special stains\" in terms of their specificity and sensitivity were no longer a barrier to the ability to differentiate a poorly differentiated carcinoma from a melanoma or Ewing sarcoma from rhabdomyosarcoma, identification of viruses and immune complex diseases of the kidney4\"7 It was the antigen-antibody reaction and a secondary antibody to horseradish peroxidase that served as the next advance in diagnostic pathology through immunohistochemistry which emerged in the later 1970s and early 1980s with polyclonal and later monoclonal antibodies.8\"10 Like electron microscopy before it, immunohistochemistry expanded beyond a few specialized centers into the general practice of pathology in the community. Vietnam in 1967 - 1968 It was between the completion of my PGY-1 year in pathology at Barnes Hospital in St. Louis and the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) that I served the hybrid role of general medical and laboratory officer at the Station Hospital, U.S. Naval Support Activity (NSA), Da Nang, Republic of Vietnam (RVN).14 Shortly before I left to report to the Field Medical Service School at Camp Pendleton California, on July 3, 1967, Lauren V. Ackerman, MD, Director of Surgical Pathology, Barnes Hospital-WU Medical Center called me into his office to wish me well. Needless to say MAG-16 was target-rich for rocket and mortar attacks and the hospital was a not infrequent recipient of putative short rounds; those occasions brought us to our bunkers in the middle of the night after a combination of sirens and explosions. Other notable autopsy cases during that year included cerebral malaria, Japanese B encephalitis, melioidosis, and rabies.1819 One case that was particularly challenging was a young Marine who had multiple admissions to the San Diego Navy Hospital for bouts of recurrent lower lobe pneumonia.

Postwar environmental concern has been powerfully shaped by projections of ecological catastrophe. Indeed, it can be said that the global environment as an object of social and political concern came into existence in part through narratives of future crisis. This article explores two successive framings of environmental crisis and the kinds of knowledges that made them up. It examines the announcement of ecological limits to economic growth in the early 1970s, the culmination of an early wave of popular green concern that modeled the future as a choice between the catastrophic continuation of business as usual and the prospect of eco-utopian alternatives. It considers the crisis logics of contemporary climate dynamics, where the power of scientific modeling leaves little room for the imagination of radically different futures. Environmental crisis now cannot perform the anticipatory and utopian functions that it once did. The “apocalyptic horizon” of limits has given way to the collapse of crisis into the present and new kinds of colonization of the future. But in both cases, environmental crisis can be read as a science-fictional object, simultaneously descriptive and speculative, scientific and fictional. Science fiction tropes were crucial to early constructions of environmental crisis, and speculative climate fiction will be a vital resource for negotiating the social-natural futures of the Anthropocene.

After about 25 years new Medicare rules and the rise of managed care private physicians were eliminated from teaching roles. Managed care was supposed to lower health care costs eliminating private practice. About eight years ago I initiated and sponsored a lecture series on Medicine and Health Care at the St. Louis County Library.

When I graduated from Wellington High School, I was undecided on majors and started college at the University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas, as an English major while also taking the premedical science classes. [...]the care of individuals with a chronic condition such as diabetes mellitus is very satisfying because each person has a compelling life story of living with diabetes that invokes my humanities background and love of narrative. [...]I had the opportunity to take a position in an endocrine-related research laboratory at the Kansas City Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center as part of the VA Career Development program after fellowship (Figure 2). University Health of Kansas City, St. Luke's Hospital of Kansas City, the Center for Behavioral Health, Children's Mercy Hospital, the Kansas City VA Medical Center, Research Medical Center; and in St. Joseph, MO: Some examples of projects while I was Dean include 1) founding the Department of Biomedical and Health Informatics to develop a faculty body and graduate programs that support clinical research; 2) developing a formal consortium for quality improvement and patient safety with our affiliated hospitals; and 3) establishing residency programs and new graduate education programs for anesthesiology assistants and physician assistants to address workforce needs in Missouri.

[...]relating to colleagues, including doctors, nurses, and all the others in the health care team. Volunteer work at the World War 1 Museum and Memorial in Kansas City is fun. [...]I'm very thankful for my family, all my friends, and all my professional colleagues at University Health, and especially at the Missouri State Medical Association.

Looking back at his research on tachyons in the 1960s and 1970s, the physicist Gerald Feinberg recalled that he started thinking about particles that go faster than light after reading James Blish’s 1954 science fiction story “Beep.” While the technical conceits of Blish’s tale may have stirred Feinberg’s curiosity, its literary implications were yet more significant. As a story about faster-than-light messages that travel backward in time, “Beep” thematizes the capacity of speculative fictions to affect the present and reorient the future. For Feinberg, stories like “Beep” and Arthur C. Clarke’s 1953 novel Childhood’s End offered conceptual resources as well as models for practice, affirming a science fiction way of doing science. By attending to Feinberg’s work on tachyons as well as his ventures in futurology, such as The Prometheus Project, this essay shows how Feinberg’s reading of science fiction reinforced a speculative approach to knowledge and innovation, an understanding of theoretical science as intimately aligned with science fiction, and a conviction that science fiction was a vital instrument for science policy and social change.

Fans of science fiction offer an unusual opportunity to study that rare bird—a “public” view of science in history. Of course science fiction fans are by no means representative of a “general” public, but they are a coherent, interesting, and significant group in their own right. In this article, we follow British fans from their phase of self-organization just before World War II and through their wartime experiences. We examine how they defined science and science fiction, and how they connected their interest in them with their personal ambitions and social concerns. Moreover, we show how the war clarified and altered these connections. Rather than being distracted from science fiction, fans redoubled their focus upon it during the years of conflict. The number of new fanzines published in the midcentury actually peaked during the war. In this article, we examine what science fiction fandom, developed over the previous few years, offered them in this time of national trial.

A curious sympathy between second-wave feminism and evolutionary theory forged a powerful connection between women and the sea. Speculative nonfiction by Elaine Morgan rewrote humanity’s evolutionary past to be more fluid and more feminist in her Descent of Woman (1972). Later fiction—including KurtVonnegut’s Galápagos (1985) and biologist Joan Slonczewski’s A Door into Ocean (1986)—posited alternative futures in which long association with the ocean resulted in the evolution of new forms of biological and social order. The elusive boundary between science and fiction in these narratives highlights both the moral authority of nature and the subversive connotations of the aquatic.

Engineering was all 1 thought of as I entered Arizona State University School of Engineering-calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, physics, chemistry, and engineering classes. Besides learning about Big 8 Football and the importance of the NebraskaOklahoma game, I spent time learning scanning and transmission electron microscopy, tissue culture techniques, cell differentiation, and genetics. Boston University Hospital Department of Radiation Medicine and the Henry Goldman School of Graduate Dentistry had a joint Fellowship in Oral Oncology. Boston was a wonderful experience but unaffordable to live in on a Fellows salary. Besides home was southwest Missouri and Mom and Dad were there.
