The next 10 Minute Talk focusing on State-of-the-Art Reviews will be held online on Wednesday, March 21, from 12:00-12:30 pm. Visit our Research Guide to register.

The UAB Libraries 10 Minute Talks series is intended to provide detailed information on specific topics in a short amount of time to better serve the scheduling needs of busy faculty, researchers, and students. These sessions will provide information on specific topics related to research activities and will include information on relevant UAB Libraries resources. The Spring 2018 series from Lister Hill Library will focus on types of reviews with the goal of providing information on publication alternatives to systematic reviews.

Posters are a common medium for communicating information about your research, yet poster creation itself can be frustrating and time-consuming. Join us on Monday, March 19, from 5:00-6:00 pm, for this online workshop, which will provide an introduction to poster design and will include information on using templates, effective use of images and infographics, and tips and tricks for transporting posters to off-campus locations. To register for this class, or to learn about other upcoming workshops, visit our Research Guide.

Construction for a hospital for veterans began in October 1949 at the University of Alabama’s new medical center in Birmingham. Roy R. Kracke, MD, dean of the medical school, was a member of President Truman’s Special Medical Advisory Group on Veterans Affairs and was chiefly responsible for the location of the facility in Birmingham. The hospital was completed in January 1953 and was formally dedicated on March 22, 1953. The hospital contained 400 beds for veterans, but it also provided much-needed laboratory, research, and clinical space for medical and dental school faculty, many of whom had joint appointments with their school and with the VA. Students were also able to receive clinical training in the new hospital.
