Did you know that public health infrastructure has existed in NYC for over 200 years? The New York City Board of Health, the precursor to the @New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, was formed in 1805 to combat the scourge of Yellow Fever outbreaks.

Did you know April is Alcohol Awareness Month? Alcohol’s effects on the liver and other organs have been known for a long time. More recently, reputable research has revealed its impact as a known carcinogen.

Yesterday marked the start of Occupational Health Nurses (OHN) Week, which honors occupational and environmental health nurse professionals. Whereas clinical nurses work onsite at a medical institution, OHNs focus on the health and well-being of workers and environmental risks.

Throughout the year, we host health and medical events of all sorts; ranging from topics such as highlighting the work of graduate student social workers to the local health impacts of the global climate crisis. But are you aware of the other events that New York Academy of Medicine hosts?

This World Autism Awareness Day, we recall Dr. Susan Hyman’s Brock Lecture, which took place in March, titled “Autism Through the Looking Glass.” Dr. Hyman’s lecture was a fascinating journey down the rabbit hole of autism: clarifying what autism is and isn’t, how to detect it, and much more.

I hit up the oldest surviving manuscript copy of “Apicius” aka De re conquinaria in NYC at the New York Academy of Medicine!

A photo of me, taken by my friend James. He surreptitiously got the shot while I was comparing a passage in the manuscript with its counterpart in the facsimile of the next-oldest copy of the text. In the foreground, you can see the book James was reading, a book in German on wounds, published in 1517.
