An Insiders View To The Nobel Medal Ceremony
Carol Greider has a gold medal that nearly every scientist dreams of receiving. The King of Sweden handed her the Nobel Prize for medicine on December 10. Nobel week in Stockholm is full of events: concerts, receptions and dinners. Dr. Greider says the toughest problem she faced was deciding who to invite.
Listen to an interview with her on NPR and watch her Nobel Lecture, presented at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm.
Go back in time and read about her early work in an article from Hopkins Medicine magazine in 2001.
Megan Tschudy, Med '06, spends time in Peru, Haiti and Guyana
Four times a year, emergency medicine physician Karen Schneider takes a group of pediatric residents below the equator to remote places where children’s healthcare is almost non-existent, and where they learn how to diagnose and treat tropical conditions they seldom if ever see back home.
During their latest trip to Peru, Dr. Schneider, Dr. Tschudy and the team saw 2,300 children and arranged more than 20 surgeries for conditions ranging from club feet and cleft palates to hernias. Read a first hand account from Dr. Tschudy in Hopkins' Children.

A Glimpse Into the Future of Medicine
The Swirnow Mock OR is a mock operating room where Hopkins engineers, surgeons, and computer scientists push the limits of surgical robotics to test advances that will lead to the safest, most-effective surgical treatments for patients.
"The Swirnow Mock OR is making everything we do with the Hopkins School of Medicine more effective, and it's bringing the two campuses together. It's an excellent staging ground for a real-life environment and an exceptional teaching lab for undergraduates and graduates working together," says Russell Taylor, of the Whiting School of Engineering.
