[SCA-BMDL] Medieval Science, Medicine and Magic at Pitt, Feb-Mar 2011 (FREE)

[Krista Cogan]

Hello!  I received the email below today that I thought might be of interest to you.  
 
The University of Pittsburgh is hosting Sylvia Pamboukian, Ph.D, on March 15, 2011.  She'll be talking about Medieval Science, Medicine and Magic.  The is another talk on Feb 22 that sounds interesting, too (see below).  Both are an hour long and begin at 6pm.
 
This is in conjunction with a special traveling exhibit from the National Library of Medicine entitled The World of Harry Potter: Medieval Science, Medicine and Magic.
 
The exhibit and talks are not being held in conjunction with the SCA, but they are within our scope.  Feel free to forward to interested parties.
 
In Levitate et Caritate,
~Hilda, Seneschale, BMDL

My name is John Erlen and I oversee the history of medicine programming for the U. of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. I am contacting you because of your position with the SCA in the Pittsburgh area. The Health Sciences Library System-HSLS-headquartered on the second floor of Scaife Hall across from Pitt's basketball arena will be hosting a special traveling exhibit from the National Library of Medicine Feb.-March 2011 entitled: The World of Harry Potter: Medieval Science, Medicine and Magic. To go along with this exhibit the HSLS, along with the C. F. Reynolds Medical History Society, will host 2 special 6pm lectures, also in Scaife Hall. The following are the particulars on these hour long presentations:
