<p>Domestic Medicine</p>

<p>The care of the ill and injured often fell to relatives and neighbors when physicians were difficult to find. Women most often filled this role, not only for immediate family, but also for extended family, servants, neighbors, and members of their religious congregations. The women of the house watched over the ill, sitting beside them, offering support and comfort, food, drink, and medicine. They relied on medical information found in domestic medicine books.</p>

<p>Midwifery</p>

<p>Female midwives attended births during the colonial and early republic periods, especially in rural areas. Childbirth was in the home and was a female communal event, supervised by a female midwife. Midwives sometimes helped with general nursing, pediatrics, and laying out the dead. In the latter half of the eighteenth century, male midwives trained at medical schools.</p>

<p>Infant Care</p>

<p>Infant mortality was very high, estimated to have been 40% during the revolutionary period. Often physicians were only called to treat babies and children if home remedies did not work. No pediatrics specialty existed at this time. In colonial America, children were under the care of women, and generally children would not be cared for by physicians until they were weaned.</p>

More than you might think. Through rare garments and archival treasures, this presentation traces the evolution of UNMC College of Nursing uniforms from 1917 to the 1990s, revealing how clothing shaped professional identity, reflected social change, and connected generations of nursing students. Join us for a fascinating look at a century of nursing through the textiles that nurses wore every day.</p>

<p>This lecture examines the history of the UNMC College of Nursing through textiles, with particular attention to nursing uniforms from 1917 through the 1990s. Drawing on archival collections and surviving garments, it explores how changes in uniform design reflect shifting expectations of training, professionalism, gender roles, and patient care across the twentieth century. From early starched dresses and caps that signaled discipline and hierarchy to later, more practical and individualized attire, these textiles reveal how nurses navigated institutional authority while forming identity and community. By foregrounding clothing as both functional and symbolic, this presentation reveals how uniforms shaped the daily, embodied experiences of nursing students and their sense of identity over time.</p>

Drawing on archival collections and surviving garments, it explores how changes in uniform design reflect shifting expectations of training, professionalism, gender roles, and patient care across the twentieth century. From early starched dresses and caps that signaled discipline and hierarchy to later, more practical and individualized attire, these textiles reveal how nurses navigated institutional authority while forming identity and community. By foregrounding clothing as both functional and symbolic, this presentation reveals how uniforms shaped the daily, embodied experiences of nursing students and their sense of identity over time.</p>

<p>Domestic Medicine</p>

<p>The care of the ill and injured often fell to relatives and neighbors when physicians were difficult to find. Women most often filled this role, not only for immediate family, but also for extended family, servants, neighbors, and members of their religious congregations. The women of the house watched over the ill, sitting beside them, offering support and comfort, food, drink, and medicine. They relied on medical information found in domestic medicine books.</p>

<p>Midwifery</p>

<p>Female midwives attended births during the colonial and early republic periods, especially in rural areas. Childbirth was in the home and was a female communal event, supervised by a female midwife. Midwives sometimes helped with general nursing, pediatrics, and laying out the dead. In the latter half of the eighteenth century, male midwives trained at medical schools.</p>

<p>Infant Care</p>

<p>Infant mortality was very high, estimated to have been 40% during the revolutionary period. Often physicians were only called to treat babies and children if home remedies did not work. No pediatrics specialty existed at this time. In colonial America, children were under the care of women, and generally children would not be cared for by physicians until they were weaned.</p>

Sorrell Center</title><description><![CDATA[<p>The Eppley Institute welcomes faculty candidate Dr. Daoyuan Huang. He is a Postdoctoral Fellow at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center / Harvard Medical School in the lab of Dr. Wenyi Wei. His research focuses on: Protein homeostasis, lineage-specific transcription factor regulation, and therapeutic vulnerabilities in cancer.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The title of his talk is, “Proteostasis Networks Maintain Cancer Cell Identity and Create Therapeutic Vulnerabilities”.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Key points:</p>

<p>1. Ubiquitin signaling controls the stability of lineage-defining transcription factors</p>

<p>2. Proteostatic regulation of lineage factors sustains cancer cell identity and dependency</p>

<p>3. Targeting lineage-specific proteostasis dependencies creates therapeutic vulnerabilities</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Please note the different location.</p>

<p>We hope to see you there!</p>

<p>Domestic Medicine</p>

<p>The care of the ill and injured often fell to relatives and neighbors when physicians were difficult to find. Women most often filled this role, not only for immediate family, but also for extended family, servants, neighbors, and members of their religious congregations. The women of the house watched over the ill, sitting beside them, offering support and comfort, food, drink, and medicine. They relied on medical information found in domestic medicine books.</p>

<p>Midwifery</p>

<p>Female midwives attended births during the colonial and early republic periods, especially in rural areas. Childbirth was in the home and was a female communal event, supervised by a female midwife. Midwives sometimes helped with general nursing, pediatrics, and laying out the dead. In the latter half of the eighteenth century, male midwives trained at medical schools.</p>

<p>Infant Care</p>

<p>Infant mortality was very high, estimated to have been 40% during the revolutionary period. Often physicians were only called to treat babies and children if home remedies did not work. No pediatrics specialty existed at this time. In colonial America, children were under the care of women, and generally children would not be cared for by physicians until they were weaned.</p>

More than you might think. Through rare garments and archival treasures, this presentation traces the evolution of UNMC College of Nursing uniforms from 1917 to the 1990s, revealing how clothing shaped professional identity, reflected social change, and connected generations of nursing students. Join us for a fascinating look at a century of nursing through the textiles that nurses wore every day.</p>

<p>This lecture examines the history of the UNMC College of Nursing through textiles, with particular attention to nursing uniforms from 1917 through the 1990s. Drawing on archival collections and surviving garments, it explores how changes in uniform design reflect shifting expectations of training, professionalism, gender roles, and patient care across the twentieth century. From early starched dresses and caps that signaled discipline and hierarchy to later, more practical and individualized attire, these textiles reveal how nurses navigated institutional authority while forming identity and community.

<p>Domestic Medicine</p>

<p>The care of the ill and injured often fell to relatives and neighbors when physicians were difficult to find. Women most often filled this role, not only for immediate family, but also for extended family, servants, neighbors, and members of their religious congregations. The women of the house watched over the ill, sitting beside them, offering support and comfort, food, drink, and medicine. They relied on medical information found in domestic medicine books.</p>

<p>Midwifery</p>

<p>Female midwives attended births during the colonial and early republic periods, especially in rural areas. Childbirth was in the home and was a female communal event, supervised by a female midwife. Midwives sometimes helped with general nursing, pediatrics, and laying out the dead. In the latter half of the eighteenth century, male midwives trained at medical schools.</p>

<p>Infant Care</p>

<p>Infant mortality was very high, estimated to have been 40% during the revolutionary period. Often physicians were only called to treat babies and children if home remedies did not work. No pediatrics specialty existed at this time. In colonial America, children were under the care of women, and generally children would not be cared for by physicians until they were weaned.</p>

More than you might think. Through rare garments and archival treasures, this presentation traces the evolution of UNMC College of Nursing uniforms from 1917 to the 1990s, revealing how clothing shaped professional identity, reflected social change, and connected generations of nursing students. Join us for a fascinating look at a century of nursing through the textiles that nurses wore every day.</p>

<p>This lecture examines the history of the UNMC College of Nursing through textiles, with particular attention to nursing uniforms from 1917 through the 1990s. Drawing on archival collections and surviving garments, it explores how changes in uniform design reflect shifting expectations of training, professionalism, gender roles, and patient care across the twentieth century. From early starched dresses and caps that signaled discipline and hierarchy to later, more practical and individualized attire, these textiles reveal how nurses navigated institutional authority while forming identity and community. By foregrounding clothing as both functional and symbolic, this presentation reveals how uniforms shaped the daily, embodied experiences of nursing students and their sense of identity over time.</p>

More than you might think. Through rare garments and archival treasures, this presentation traces the evolution of UNMC College of Nursing uniforms from 1917 to the 1990s, revealing how clothing shaped professional identity, reflected social change, and connected generations of nursing students. Join us for a fascinating look at a century of nursing through the textiles that nurses wore every day.</p>

<p>This lecture examines the history of the UNMC College of Nursing through textiles, with particular attention to nursing uniforms from 1917 through the 1990s. Drawing on archival collections and surviving garments, it explores how changes in uniform design reflect shifting expectations of training, professionalism, gender roles, and patient care across the twentieth century. From early starched dresses and caps that signaled discipline and hierarchy to later, more practical and individualized attire, these textiles reveal how nurses navigated institutional authority while forming identity and community. By foregrounding clothing as both functional and symbolic, this presentation reveals how uniforms shaped the daily, embodied experiences of nursing students and their sense of identity over time.</p>

<p>Domestic Medicine</p>

<p>The care of the ill and injured often fell to relatives and neighbors when physicians were difficult to find. Women most often filled this role, not only for immediate family, but also for extended family, servants, neighbors, and members of their religious congregations. The women of the house watched over the ill, sitting beside them, offering support and comfort, food, drink, and medicine. They relied on medical information found in domestic medicine books.</p>

<p>Midwifery</p>

<p>Female midwives attended births during the colonial and early republic periods, especially in rural areas. Childbirth was in the home and was a female communal event, supervised by a female midwife. Midwives sometimes helped with general nursing, pediatrics, and laying out the dead. In the latter half of the eighteenth century, male midwives trained at medical schools.</p>

<p>Infant Care</p>

<p>Infant mortality was very high, estimated to have been 40% during the revolutionary period. Often physicians were only called to treat babies and children if home remedies did not work.

<p>Domestic Medicine</p>

<p>The care of the ill and injured often fell to relatives and neighbors when physicians were difficult to find. Women most often filled this role, not only for immediate family, but also for extended family, servants, neighbors, and members of their religious congregations. The women of the house watched over the ill, sitting beside them, offering support and comfort, food, drink, and medicine. They relied on medical information found in domestic medicine books.</p>

<p>Midwifery</p>

<p>Female midwives attended births during the colonial and early republic periods, especially in rural areas. Childbirth was in the home and was a female communal event, supervised by a female midwife. Midwives sometimes helped with general nursing, pediatrics, and laying out the dead. In the latter half of the eighteenth century, male midwives trained at medical schools.</p>

<p>Infant Care</p>

<p>Infant mortality was very high, estimated to have been 40% during the revolutionary period. Often physicians were only called to treat babies and children if home remedies did not work. No pediatrics specialty existed at this time. In colonial America, children were under the care of women, and generally children would not be cared for by physicians until they were weaned.</p>

More than you might think. Through rare garments and archival treasures, this presentation traces the evolution of UNMC College of Nursing uniforms from 1917 to the 1990s, revealing how clothing shaped professional identity, reflected social change, and connected generations of nursing students. Join us for a fascinating look at a century of nursing through the textiles that nurses wore every day.</p>

<p>This lecture examines the history of the UNMC College of Nursing through textiles, with particular attention to nursing uniforms from 1917 through the 1990s. Drawing on archival collections and surviving garments, it explores how changes in uniform design reflect shifting expectations of training, professionalism, gender roles, and patient care across the twentieth century. From early starched dresses and caps that signaled discipline and hierarchy to later, more practical and individualized attire, these textiles reveal how nurses navigated institutional authority while forming identity and community. By foregrounding clothing as both functional and symbolic, this presentation reveals how uniforms shaped the daily, embodied experiences of nursing students and their sense of identity over time.</p>

<p>Domestic Medicine</p>

<p>The care of the ill and injured often fell to relatives and neighbors when physicians were difficult to find. Women most often filled this role, not only for immediate family, but also for extended family, servants, neighbors, and members of their religious congregations. The women of the house watched over the ill, sitting beside them, offering support and comfort, food, drink, and medicine. They relied on medical information found in domestic medicine books.</p>

<p>Midwifery</p>

<p>Female midwives attended births during the colonial and early republic periods, especially in rural areas. Childbirth was in the home and was a female communal event, supervised by a female midwife. Midwives sometimes helped with general nursing, pediatrics, and laying out the dead. In the latter half of the eighteenth century, male midwives trained at medical schools.</p>

<p>Infant Care</p>

<p>Infant mortality was very high, estimated to have been 40% during the revolutionary period. Often physicians were only called to treat babies and children if home remedies did not work. No pediatrics specialty existed at this time. In colonial America, children were under the care of women, and generally children would not be cared for by physicians until they were weaned.</p>

More than you might think. Through rare garments and archival treasures, this presentation traces the evolution of UNMC College of Nursing uniforms from 1917 to the 1990s, revealing how clothing shaped professional identity, reflected social change, and connected generations of nursing students. Join us for a fascinating look at a century of nursing through the textiles that nurses wore every day.</p>

<p>This lecture examines the history of the UNMC College of Nursing through textiles, with particular attention to nursing uniforms from 1917 through the 1990s. Drawing on archival collections and surviving garments, it explores how changes in uniform design reflect shifting expectations of training, professionalism, gender roles, and patient care across the twentieth century. From early starched dresses and caps that signaled discipline and hierarchy to later, more practical and individualized attire, these textiles reveal how nurses navigated institutional authority while forming identity and community. By foregrounding clothing as both functional and symbolic, this presentation reveals how uniforms shaped the daily, embodied experiences of nursing students and their sense of identity over time.</p>

<p>Domestic Medicine</p>

<p>The care of the ill and injured often fell to relatives and neighbors when physicians were difficult to find.

More than you might think. Through rare garments and archival treasures, this presentation traces the evolution of UNMC College of Nursing uniforms from 1917 to the 1990s, revealing how clothing shaped professional identity, reflected social change, and connected generations of nursing students. Join us for a fascinating look at a century of nursing through the textiles that nurses wore every day.</p>

<p>This lecture examines the history of the UNMC College of Nursing through textiles, with particular attention to nursing uniforms from 1917 through the 1990s. Drawing on archival collections and surviving garments, it explores how changes in uniform design reflect shifting expectations of training, professionalism, gender roles, and patient care across the twentieth century. From early starched dresses and caps that signaled discipline and hierarchy to later, more practical and individualized attire, these textiles reveal how nurses navigated institutional authority while forming identity and community. By foregrounding clothing as both functional and symbolic, this presentation reveals how uniforms shaped the daily, embodied experiences of nursing students and their sense of identity over time.</p>

<p>Domestic Medicine</p>

<p>The care of the ill and injured often fell to relatives and neighbors when physicians were difficult to find. Women most often filled this role, not only for immediate family, but also for extended family, servants, neighbors, and members of their religious congregations. The women of the house watched over the ill, sitting beside them, offering support and comfort, food, drink, and medicine. They relied on medical information found in domestic medicine books.</p>

<p>Midwifery</p>

<p>Female midwives attended births during the colonial and early republic periods, especially in rural areas. Childbirth was in the home and was a female communal event, supervised by a female midwife. Midwives sometimes helped with general nursing, pediatrics, and laying out the dead. In the latter half of the eighteenth century, male midwives trained at medical schools.</p>

<p>Infant Care</p>

<p>Infant mortality was very high, estimated to have been 40% during the revolutionary period. Often physicians were only called to treat babies and children if home remedies did not work. No pediatrics specialty existed at this time. In colonial America, children were under the care of women, and generally children would not be cared for by physicians until they were weaned.</p>

<p>Domestic Medicine</p>

<p>The care of the ill and injured often fell to relatives and neighbors when physicians were difficult to find. Women most often filled this role, not only for immediate family, but also for extended family, servants, neighbors, and members of their religious congregations. The women of the house watched over the ill, sitting beside them, offering support and comfort, food, drink, and medicine. They relied on medical information found in domestic medicine books.</p>

<p>Midwifery</p>

<p>Female midwives attended births during the colonial and early republic periods, especially in rural areas. Childbirth was in the home and was a female communal event, supervised by a female midwife. Midwives sometimes helped with general nursing, pediatrics, and laying out the dead. In the latter half of the eighteenth century, male midwives trained at medical schools.</p>

<p>Domestic Medicine</p>

<p>The care of the ill and injured often fell to relatives and neighbors when physicians were difficult to find. Women most often filled this role, not only for immediate family, but also for extended family, servants, neighbors, and members of their religious congregations. The women of the house watched over the ill, sitting beside them, offering support and comfort, food, drink, and medicine. They relied on medical information found in domestic medicine books.</p>

<p>Midwifery</p>

<p>Female midwives attended births during the colonial and early republic periods, especially in rural areas. Childbirth was in the home and was a female communal event, supervised by a female midwife. Midwives sometimes helped with general nursing, pediatrics, and laying out the dead. In the latter half of the eighteenth century, male midwives trained at medical schools.</p>

<p>Infant Care</p>

<p>Infant mortality was very high, estimated to have been 40% during the revolutionary period. Often physicians were only called to treat babies and children if home remedies did not work. No pediatrics specialty existed at this time. In colonial America, children were under the care of women, and generally children would not be cared for by physicians until they were weaned.</p>

<p>Domestic Medicine</p>

<p>The care of the ill and injured often fell to relatives and neighbors when physicians were difficult to find. Women most often filled this role, not only for immediate family, but also for extended family, servants, neighbors, and members of their religious congregations. The women of the house watched over the ill, sitting beside them, offering support and comfort, food, drink, and medicine. They relied on medical information found in domestic medicine books.</p>

<p>Midwifery</p>

<p>Female midwives attended births during the colonial and early republic periods, especially in rural areas. Childbirth was in the home and was a female communal event, supervised by a female midwife. Midwives sometimes helped with general nursing, pediatrics, and laying out the dead. In the latter half of the eighteenth century, male midwives trained at medical schools.</p>

<p>Domestic Medicine</p>

<p>The care of the ill and injured often fell to relatives and neighbors when physicians were difficult to find. Women most often filled this role, not only for immediate family, but also for extended family, servants, neighbors, and members of their religious congregations. The women of the house watched over the ill, sitting beside them, offering support and comfort, food, drink, and medicine. They relied on medical information found in domestic medicine books.</p>

<p>Midwifery</p>

<p>Female midwives attended births during the colonial and early republic periods, especially in rural areas. Childbirth was in the home and was a female communal event, supervised by a female midwife. Midwives sometimes helped with general nursing, pediatrics, and laying out the dead. In the latter half of the eighteenth century, male midwives trained at medical schools.</p>

<p>Infant Care</p>

<p>Infant mortality was very high, estimated to have been 40% during the revolutionary period. Often physicians were only called to treat babies and children if home remedies did not work. No pediatrics specialty existed at this time. In colonial America, children were under the care of women, and generally children would not be cared for by physicians until they were weaned.</p>

<p>Domestic Medicine</p>

<p>The care of the ill and injured often fell to relatives and neighbors when physicians were difficult to find. Women most often filled this role, not only for immediate family, but also for extended family, servants, neighbors, and members of their religious congregations. The women of the house watched over the ill, sitting beside them, offering support and comfort, food, drink, and medicine. They relied on medical information found in domestic medicine books.</p>

<p>Midwifery</p>

<p>Female midwives attended births during the colonial and early republic periods, especially in rural areas. Childbirth was in the home and was a female communal event, supervised by a female midwife. Midwives sometimes helped with general nursing, pediatrics, and laying out the dead. In the latter half of the eighteenth century, male midwives trained at medical schools.</p>

<p>Infant Care</p>

<p>Infant mortality was very high, estimated to have been 40% during the revolutionary period. Often physicians were only called to treat babies and children if home remedies did not work. No pediatrics specialty existed at this time. In colonial America, children were under the care of women, and generally children would not be cared for by physicians until they were weaned.</p>

<p>Domestic Medicine</p>

<p>The care of the ill and injured often fell to relatives and neighbors when physicians were difficult to find. Women most often filled this role, not only for immediate family, but also for extended family, servants, neighbors, and members of their religious congregations. The women of the house watched over the ill, sitting beside them, offering support and comfort, food, drink, and medicine. They relied on medical information found in domestic medicine books.</p>

<p>Midwifery</p>

<p>Female midwives attended births during the colonial and early republic periods, especially in rural areas. Childbirth was in the home and was a female communal event, supervised by a female midwife. Midwives sometimes helped with general nursing, pediatrics, and laying out the dead. In the latter half of the eighteenth century, male midwives trained at medical schools.</p>

<p>Infant Care</p>

<p>Infant mortality was very high, estimated to have been 40% during the revolutionary period. Often physicians were only called to treat babies and children if home remedies did not work.

<p>Domestic Medicine</p>

<p>The care of the ill and injured often fell to relatives and neighbors when physicians were difficult to find. Women most often filled this role, not only for immediate family, but also for extended family, servants, neighbors, and members of their religious congregations. The women of the house watched over the ill, sitting beside them, offering support and comfort, food, drink, and medicine. They relied on medical information found in domestic medicine books.</p>

<p>Midwifery</p>

<p>Female midwives attended births during the colonial and early republic periods, especially in rural areas. Childbirth was in the home and was a female communal event, supervised by a female midwife. Midwives sometimes helped with general nursing, pediatrics, and laying out the dead. In the latter half of the eighteenth century, male midwives trained at medical schools.</p>

<p>Domestic Medicine</p>

<p>The care of the ill and injured often fell to relatives and neighbors when physicians were difficult to find. Women most often filled this role, not only for immediate family, but also for extended family, servants, neighbors, and members of their religious congregations. The women of the house watched over the ill, sitting beside them, offering support and comfort, food, drink, and medicine. They relied on medical information found in domestic medicine books.</p>

<p>Midwifery</p>

<p>Female midwives attended births during the colonial and early republic periods, especially in rural areas. Childbirth was in the home and was a female communal event, supervised by a female midwife. Midwives sometimes helped with general nursing, pediatrics, and laying out the dead. In the latter half of the eighteenth century, male midwives trained at medical schools.</p>

<p>Infant Care</p>

<p>Infant mortality was very high, estimated to have been 40% during the revolutionary period. Often physicians were only called to treat babies and children if home remedies did not work. No pediatrics specialty existed at this time. In colonial America, children were under the care of women, and generally children would not be cared for by physicians until they were weaned.</p>

<p>Domestic Medicine</p>

<p>The care of the ill and injured often fell to relatives and neighbors when physicians were difficult to find. Women most often filled this role, not only for immediate family, but also for extended family, servants, neighbors, and members of their religious congregations. The women of the house watched over the ill, sitting beside them, offering support and comfort, food, drink, and medicine. They relied on medical information found in domestic medicine books.</p>

<p>Midwifery</p>

<p>Female midwives attended births during the colonial and early republic periods, especially in rural areas. Childbirth was in the home and was a female communal event, supervised by a female midwife. Midwives sometimes helped with general nursing, pediatrics, and laying out the dead. In the latter half of the eighteenth century, male midwives trained at medical schools.</p>

<p>Infant Care</p>

<p>Infant mortality was very high, estimated to have been 40% during the revolutionary period. Often physicians were only called to treat babies and children if home remedies did not work. No pediatrics specialty existed at this time. In colonial America, children were under the care of women, and generally children would not be cared for by physicians until they were weaned.</p>

<p>The care of the ill and injured often fell to relatives and neighbors when physicians were difficult to find. Women most often filled this role, not only for immediate family, but also for extended family, servants, neighbors, and members of their religious congregations. The women of the house watched over the ill, sitting beside them, offering support and comfort, food, drink, and medicine. They relied on medical information found in domestic medicine books.</p>

<p>Midwifery</p>

<p>Female midwives attended births during the colonial and early republic periods, especially in rural areas. Childbirth was in the home and was a female communal event, supervised by a female midwife. Midwives sometimes helped with general nursing, pediatrics, and laying out the dead. In the latter half of the eighteenth century, male midwives trained at medical schools.</p>

<p>Infant Care</p>

<p>Infant mortality was very high, estimated to have been 40% during the revolutionary period. Often physicians were only called to treat babies and children if home remedies did not work. No pediatrics specialty existed at this time. In colonial America, children were under the care of women, and generally children would not be cared for by physicians until they were weaned.</p>

<p>Presentation Summary:</p>

<p>Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains one of the most aggressive and therapeutically resistant breast cancer subtypes, with disproportionately high mortality and limited targeted treatment options. Although TNBC genomic programs are known to promote extracellular glycoprotein production and remodeling, the spatially resolved glycomic and proteomic architecture that establishes the functional tumor microenvironment remains largely undefined. Here, we report on our investigation of TNBC specimens (n=79) validated by immune staining and collagen fiber measurements associated with survival and investigated for novel spatial glycoproteomics associated with clinical outcome of survival. The approach reports on post-translational modifications and novel protein domains that are spatially localized in the tumor microenvironment. We further discuss potential in reporting extracellular matrix proteomic programming carried to metastatic site. We conclude by discussing proteomic imaging of the brain proteome, a common site of metastasis in TNBC.</p>

<p>The event is free and open to all, and complimentary coffee courtesy Arbor Bank will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Tours of the Catalyst facility will also be available.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>In addition to networking, Morning Edition will feature a short, 10- to 15-minute presentation from a community partner involved in the innovation ecosystem and a UNMC innovator with experience developing a new invention and building a startup company.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The event will be held in the new Catalyst building on the western edge of the UNMC campus, on Saddle Creek Road. Metered parking is available along 46th Street.</p>

<p>The event is in the event center on the north end of the building.</p>

<p>UNeMed, the technology transfer and commercialization office for UNMC and UNO, created Morning Edition to help University innovators and entrepreneurs connect and collaborate with colleagues and experts from the venture capital and startup communities.UNeTech Institute is a co-sponsor and partner. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Morning Edition typically continues on the last Thursday of every month, featuring a new speaker each time. Each Morning Edition will also feature "Office Hours," with UNeMed saff, UNeTech staff, CQuence Health and MOVE Venture Capital representatives. Office Hours creates the opportunity for faculty, students and staff to have one-on-one time with MOVE, UNeTech or UNeMed professionals to discuss new technologies or startup potential.</p>

<p>Teaching the “soft skills” of health care can be challenging, even when these competencies are required and embedded across curricula. Health humanities offer practical ways for learners to explore and practice these skills through interpretation, reflection, and dialogue. Engage in hands-on activities to encourage critical reflection, perspective-taking, ethical reasoning, and professional identity development. Leave with an introductory understanding of health humanities, examples of library-supported teaching models, and concrete strategies for your own courses. Refresh existing curricula and create meaningful learning experiences that emphasize the human dimensions of health care.</p>
