Summary:
In 1984, Ronald Reagan’s reelection campaign introduced the theme “Morning in America," promoting an image of the U.S. as a hopeful nation moving toward a better future. As one campaign advertisement asserted, “It’s morning again in America, and under the leadership of President Reagan, our country is prouder and stronger and better.”  Fast forward to 2016. “Hopeful” or making the country “prouder" aren't descriptors most Americans would apply to either this presidential campaign or the contenders. One day post-election, what do experts think will be the “better future” under our new President and Congress? And how might the new President’s health care agenda be felt in the Commonwealth of Virginia? A John F. Anderson Memorial Lecture

Summary:
Musicologist April Greenan outlines use of music in western medicine as an agent of both healing and prevention, reviewing data documenting music's beneficial effects on patients, and suggests ways that health professionals might purposefully employ music in patient care. How might doctors guide patients to use music on their own in managing pain, anxiety, depression, the side-effects of chemotherapy? Given the ubiquity and affordability of recorded music today, might it represent a cost-effective way to help improve health care and health? A John F. Anderson Memorial Lecture

Summary:
The year 2018 marks the centennial of the "Spanish" influenza pandemic, the world's deadliest event, killing at least 50 million persons worldwide. This pandemic's sudden emergence and high fatality are stark reminders of the threat influenza has posed to human health and society for more than a millennium. Unusual features of the 1918-1919 outbreak, such as the age-specific mortality pattern and unexpectedly high frequency of severe and fatal pneumonias, are still not fully understood. But the recent sequencing and reconstruction of the 1918 virus—work accomplished by NIH scientist Jeffery Taubenberger and colleagues—have yielded answers to crucial questions about the virus's origin and pathogenicity. In this Hayden-Farr Lecture at Medical Center Hour, Dr. Taubenberger summarizes key findings, considers yet-to-be answered questions about the 1918 influenza, and looks ahead to 21st century public health preparedness and the need to optimize preventive vaccines and vaccination strategies. The Hayden-Farr Lecture in Epidemiology and Virology/Medical Grand Rounds/History of the Health Sciences Lecture Co-presented with the Department of Medicine, Historical Collections in the Health Sciences Library, and Influenza! 1918-2018
