AIChE IGM Field Trip

The USC Institute for Genetic Medicine (IGM) houses a group of clinicians, scientists and engineers from multiple academic departments with a common interest in the use of genetic, molecular, and computational approaches for the study and treatment of human diseases. It it also home to an art gallery in which AIChE will be going to see as a group on Friday, November 19, 2010.

Come experience the Hiroshima/Nagasaki Memorial Project, a multi-discipline, multi-venue project first introduced in Japan and the U.S. in 1995 during reflection on the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II. Then, the wounds of war and the complexities of empathy and loyalties tarnished celebration of the war’s end on the American side, while the spotlight lingered on the pain of those who paid the price for its definitive act: the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There will be a discussion about the exhibit, The Hiroshima/Nagasaki Memorial Project, with its focus on wise use of nuclear energy and the New START treaty discussions that will then be on the senate floor.
