Whatever Happened to Polio?

WEDNESDAY WEB WRAP-UP for February 14, 2007

Today at noon across from the Spoonholder Cafe, Professors Jane Hey and Kitty Green will lead a discussion centering on the work of Jonas Salk and the biography, “The Splendid Solution: Jonas Salk and the Conquest of Polio." So as to publicize this event, today’s Wrap-up is “Whatever Happened to Polio,” a virtual and interactive exhibit of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.

The exhibit is easy to navigate and requires no directions here. Be sure to check the “Historical Photos” though. Accompanying this collection is an interesting commentary relative to the use of photography and the intentions and motivations of those taking the photos.
