About the Exhibition

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) created characters that are among the richest and most humanly recognizable in all of literature. Yet Shakespeare understood human personality in the terms available to his age—that of the now-discarded theory of the four bodily humors –blood, bile, melancholy, and phlegm. These four humors were understood to define peoples’ physical and mental health, and determined their personality, as well.

The language of the four humors pervades Shakespeare’s plays and their influence is felt above all in a belief that emotional states are physically determined. Carried by the bloodstream, the four humors bred the core passions of anger, grief, hope, and fear—the emotions conveyed so powerfully in Shakespeare’s comedies and tragedies. Curator Gail Kern Paster explains “The four humors were an early typology for human personality. Shakespeare uses them, even as he transcends them, to create the vivid characters whose emotions continue to fascinate and delight us.”

“And there’s the humor of it”: Shakespeare and the four humors explores the role played by the four humors in several of Shakespeare’s most beloved plays through beautiful imagery and rare books from both the National Library of Medicine and the Folger Shakespeare Library, and examines more modern interpretations of the four humors in contemporary medicine.

Ideation Studio Opens! https://library.med.utah.edu/blog/eccles/2016/07/18/ideation-studio-opens/ https://library.med.utah.edu/blog/eccles/2016/07/18/ideation-studio-opens/#comments Mon, 18 Jul 2016 22:26:28 +0000 http://library.med.utah.edu/blog/eccles/?p=5160 Ideation StudioThe first step of innovation is generating an idea or identifying a problem that needs solved – the ideation phase. While the University of Utah offers innovators spaces to fabricate prototypes and create sample devices, there are few spaces that support true design thinking or idea generation and sharing. To meet this gap, the EHSL just opened a new Ideation Studio, a brainstorming space that University personnel can reserve using the Synapse scheduling process.

This Ideation Studio is located on the south end of EHSL’s Main Level, and provides a mobile whiteboard walled space to invite groups or individuals to gather. Flow chart tools and other mind-expanding widgets may be borrowed from the Front Desk.

Design classes are being planned for those wishing to know more about how to “think out loud” and explore in a space that supports delving into new concepts and deep diving to derive solutions to tough issues.

Reserve your time within the Ideation Studio today – open all EHSL operational hours.

Invitation: “Pursuing Peace” Art Gallery Reception https://library.med.utah.edu/blog/eccles/2016/06/03/invitation-pursuing-peace-art-gallery-reception/ Fri, 03 Jun 2016 18:11:43 +0000 http://library.med.utah.edu/blog/eccles/?p=5084 TeganPaintingPursuing Peace: One Painter’s Journey to Recovery after Trauma [Oil on Canvas]

Artist:  Tegan Cross, LMT
Massage Therapy, University of Utah Orthopaedic Center

RECEPTION: Thursday, June 16, 6:00-8:00 PM
Light refreshments will be served
RSVP (appreciated but not required)

Art Gallery, Main Level, Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library
Exhibit Dates:  May 1 – June 30, 2016  [Library Hours & Directions]

Tegan Cross began painting three years ago after experiencing a violent trauma. The therapist helping her through her journey to recovery recommended she find a new creative outlet to cope with her experience. Oil painting came to her through a starter kit featured on eBay’s Daily Deals. From the very first time her brush stroked the canvas, she was in love. In describing her painting experience, Tegan says:  “When working with the textures of oil paint, I feel fragments of my thoughts and emotions escaping through my hands onto the canvas. The release that comes from this cannot be compared to anything else I have experienced. In many ways, painting saved the quality of my life.”

Tegan finds inspiration everywhere. It may only be an emotion or a phrase she hears in conversation.  She writes: “Once inspiration hits, the compulsion to express it is overwhelming. Many times I feel as though the painting comes from some part of me that only exists to be used it in this way. Each piece is started with no real concept of what it should be. Rather, the painting takes on a life of its own and evolves before me.”

With no formal training for this craft, Tegan reports that: “most changes in my technique are born out of happy accidents and unconscious strokes. With each completed piece, I find a bit more of myself and am one step closer to personal peace. I look forward to seeing how my style and technique develop over time and am honored by the opportunity to share my journey so far with all of you.”

Written by:  Daniela Rose Anderson,
University of Utah Medical Student (MS2018)

Monday, June 6, 2016 at 5:00-8:00 PM
Garden Level, Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library

The Division of Medical Ethics and Humanities, Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library, and Et Alia Press invite you to a launch party for the publication of children’s book The Moon Prince and The Sea (Et Alia Press, 2016), written and illustrated by University of Utah medical student Daniela Rose Anderson (MS2018). A discussion and book signing will be held on the Garden Level of the Spencer Eccles Health Sciences Library on Monday, June 6 from 5-8 pm.  Light refreshments will be served.

The Moon Prince and The Sea is based on the true story of a bond formed across an ocean between two children who found joy despite terminal illnesses. In a hospital in India, Sumit is surrounded by children who call the hospital their home; in a hospital in America, Marina is surrounded by her loving family and friends. The book is named for Sumit, the moon prince, who paints a map of two moons that the children will later find on their adventure, and Marina, whose name means “of the sea.” The pair embarks on a magical adventure that raises questions about love, life, and death in a manner designed to be accessible to and comforting for children and families. This book is intended for children and families experiencing sickness, grief, or loss, and for any child who is curious about these topics. Written in memory of Sumit and Marina, proceeds from The Moon Prince and The Sea will support children otherwise financially unable to access the medical care they need.

New Art Gallery Exhibit: TRANSPLANT https://library.med.utah.edu/blog/eccles/2016/04/11/new-art-gallery-exhibit-transplant/ Mon, 11 Apr 2016 21:11:00 +0000 http://library.med.utah.edu/blog/eccles/?p=4965 TransplantPosterThe Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library is pleased to present a new art gallery exhibit:

TRANSPLANT
strength – life – sacrifice

April 1 – 30, 2016

Leea Dilling is a photography student at BYU Idaho who has just completed her BFA. For her senior project, she wanted to highlight the importance of organ donation. Here is a link to her pictures in book form: http://www.mixbook.com/photo-books/interests/bfa-book-13162130?vk=9uCgwu59mE.

April is National Donate Life Month. For more information please visit http://donatelife.net/ndlm/.

Artist Bio

Six years ago I found myself in a position I never imagined being in; my dad needed a liver transplant and I was his medical decision maker. When a person’s liver begins to fail the toxins in their body build up and can cause them to no longer be lucid. This happened to my Dad and it became my responsibility to decide for him whether or not he would get treatment to sustain his life before and after transplant. The experience my family and I went through changed how we look at organ donation and transplantation. Unfortunately my dad’s life was only prolonged by a few months because of his liver transplant. But those months meant so much to my family and me. Now 6 years later and I find myself re-visiting my experiences through these photographs. Every person who participated in this project went through things that were unimaginable at different ages, including me. I came to realize that organ donation and transplantation can and may have an affect on anyone at anytime in life. It is my hope to reach those who do not fully understand organ donation and to share the stories of a few whose lives will be forever transformed because of it.

My images are a glimpse into the lives of people who have been similarly changed through either being a recipient, a donor, or the family of one of these. Each story is unique and I found solace in each experience that related to mine. Being able to connect with this community of people I had never met, enhanced each image as they willingly shared with me their involvement with organ donation and transplantation. As my project progressed I realized that all of my participants had immense strength and I hoped would show through each image. My photographs represent families and individuals whose lives have been altered by the selfless decision of organ donation.

Learning to Fail: An Overview of the Utah Library Association Strikethrough Failure Workshop https://library.med.utah.edu/blog/eccles/2016/02/22/learning-to-fail-a-brief-overview-of-the-utah-library-association-strikethrough-failure-workshop/ Mon, 22 Feb 2016 20:19:34 +0000 http://library.med.utah.edu/blog/eccles/?p=4846 http://ula.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/StrikethroughHeader-1.jpg

Last week the Utah Library Association hosted a workshop focusing on failure, providing librarians the ability to gain a new perspective as to what failure is, and how we may learn and grow from our experiences when we fall short. The conference provided wonderful insights on failure as multiple speakers contributed their perspective on what failure is and how to overcome.

Maureen Sullivan, the former American of Library Association President of 2013, spoke on how failure is successful by the individual’s ability to persevere after the shortcoming. Sullivan discussed how we need to adopt a new mindset as to what failure is and how through changing our perspective on failure. The ability to move forward to repair our failures will be more successful. Sullivan also spoke on how individuals who are resilient tend to progress through failure, better than others. If that is the case then how may we become more resilient individuals? Sullivan then described attributes of individuals who master resilience, such as those individuals accept the reality of their mistakes, remain optimistic, are self-aware and mindful to the contribution of a failure being an outcome to action and not a personal label. Sullivan described our need for building mental toughness, and accepting our failures as a learning experience and not as an event that will mark the rest of our work. In conclusion Sullivan advised that failures lead to questions, which always leads to learning and growth.

The remaining conference provided wonderful advice from Edward B. Clark, M.D. (Chair of Department of Pediatrics of the University of Utah and Chief Medical Officer of Primary Children’s Medical Center) who provided a closer look on how failure can come, even when the “I’s have been dotted and the T’s have been crossed.” That no matter how well you have planned, sometimes failure comes.

Jorge Rojas, the Utah Museum of Fine Arts Director of Education, opened our perspective on what failure means for on a personal level and provided ways to overcome our fear of failure, to allow success to be present.

Even our own Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library colleagues had great information on failure. Christy Jarvis, Information Resource Librarian, asked us to think like a scientist. That instead of trying to meet a certain expectation of perfection, to rather think of a project, event, or goal as an experiment process. Where we are able to ask ourselves, “I want to learn if this will work?”

Jean Shipman, Director of the Spencer. S. Eccles Health Sciences Library, presented on a great source where we can capture our failures allowing others to learn from our failures and vice versa. The great tool is e-channel where failures can be posted and viewed for the ability to learn how taking risks and innovated action can helps us to grow professionally.

This conference was a great way to open up about failures and realize that failing is something that must happen in order to better ourselves, our organizations, and our society as a whole.

Below are some great resources and quotes that were presented during the conference.

If you have made mistakes, even serious ones, there is always another chance for you. What we call failure is not the falling down but the staying down.
-Mary Pickford

Perhaps the single best diagnostic to see if an organization is innovating, learning, and capable of turning knowledge into action is, “What happens when they make a mistake?”
-Bob Sutton

The U-Bar is open! https://library.med.utah.edu/blog/eccles/2016/02/12/the-u-bar-is-open/ Fri, 12 Feb 2016 20:26:05 +0000 http://library.med.utah.edu/blog/eccles/?p=4829 U BarU-Bar opens at the Hope Fox Eccles Library!

Knowledge is power, and thanks to the proliferation of smart phones and wearable tech individuals can now gather, record, and access their own health data in increasingly powerful ways.

Yet with so many different health apps to choose from, consumers can be easily overwhelmed.

That’s why the College of Health, the Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library, and the Center for Medical Innovation have come together to create U-Bar, a new health app education center located in the Hope Fox Eccles Library adjacent to the University Hospital lobby.

“These apps and devices are designed to help consumers learn about their health and make good choices to improve their health and wellness,” said Chief Wellness Officer Robin Marcus, Ph.D, “We’ve looked at what’s available and narrowed it down to a manageable list of 17 free apps.”

U-bar, which opened on Monday, February 8, allows University Hospital patients to test-drive the selected list of apps while a staff of students recruited from the College of Health stand by to answer questions and coach patients on installing and using the apps on their devices.

“My Vision” – Collected Works of Steven Leitch https://library.med.utah.edu/blog/eccles/2016/02/03/my-vision-collected-works-of-steven-leitch/ Wed, 03 Feb 2016 20:20:25 +0000 http://library.med.utah.edu/blog/eccles/?p=4772 Steven LeitchThe Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library, welcomes back the photographic work of Steven Leitch, formerly of the University of Utah’s School of Medicine, Medical Graphics Department.

Please join us for the Artist’s Reception on Thursday, February 11 at 11:30am-1:30pm in the Library’s Art Gallery area.

Over two years ago, he was the second artist to display his work on the walls of the newly remodeled lobby of the Library. His work then, consisted primarily of Utah landscapes. In his current exhibition, Leitch broadens his repertoire to include images outside of Utah, still-lifes, seascapes, ghost towns, landscapes and an assortment of images quite different then his traditional exhibits.

Half the fun in photography is to look at something ordinary and see if I can find an angle, an aspect or color, that if photographed, would make an interesting image to take. I rely on how I feel when I get ready to shoot, if it feels good, I press the shutter, if not, I move away and look for something else. I have a lot of images that I really like, even though others might not. I shoot for myself, and hopefully, others will see it like I did when I captured the image. When that happens, it’s magic.”

 Leitch retired from the University in 2013 after 37 years while simultaneously serving in the United States Army Reserve. He retired after 40 years as an Army photojournalist, Editor, and public affairs specialist. He received his Bachelor’s Degree in Art and Photography from Weber State College.

He is currently serving as a Service Missionary Photographer for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints. He is a curator of the West Jordan City’s William Schorr Art Gallery and a member of the West Jordan City Arts Council.

When he is not photographing for the Church or arranging an art exhibition for the Schorr Gallery, he writes poetry and short stories and is a board member of the Utah State Poetry Society.

Steven and his wife, Deanna, live in West Jordan and is the father of three children and the grandfather of three grandboys.

As a judge, you would evaluate around 5 student team entries over a 10 day period in March 2016. All entries are in the form of two videos, one a 90 second Tease Video and the other a 3 minute Commercialization Video.

The Games4Health Challenge Awards Gala will take place on March 31, 2016, where winners will be announced. Last year 150 students in 25 teams from 10 universities and 4 countries competed for $50,000 in prize money.

NATIVE VOICES EXHIBIT: September 1 – November 8, 2015

The National Library of Medicine’s (NLM’s) traveling exhibit, “Native Voices: Native Peoples’ Concepts of Health and Illness,” is now on display at the Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library at the University of Utah September 1 through November 8, 2015.

Honoring the Native tradition of oral history, NLM gathered a multitude of healing voices from across the country so that you can hear people’s stories in their own words. Healers, elders and other key figures describe how epidemics, loss of land, loss of lives, and the inhibition of culture in the 19th and 20th centuries affect the health of Native individuals and communities today. “Native Voices” presents an inspiring story of endurance, resilience, and self-determination.
