NEW FEATURE: IMNS Members in the News

An article in the Indianapolis Star in early January, 2012, tells the story of a decades-old collection of autopsy brains that researchers think can be used to help diagnose some forms of mental illness. George Sandusky, who was profiled in a recent newsletter from our Secretary, plays a prominent role in this story, and we urge everyone in the INMS to take a look at this example of the work that some of our members do. There is also a nice video on YouTube that has an interview with George and and that deals with the Indiana Medical History Museum.

Take some time to scroll through this gallery of winners and think about adding your work to their collection in the coming years!
