The practice of medicine has changed dramatically in our lifetimes, and even greater changes are anticipated in the next 20 years. Drug delivery is one area of substantial progress, and engineering principles have played an essential role in this progress. Drugs have long been used to improve health and extend lives, but a number of new modes of drug delivery, which were made possible primarily through the work of engineers, have entered clinical practice recently. In addition, engineers have contributed substantially to our understanding of the physiological barriers to efficient drug delivery such as transport in the microcirculation and drug movement through cells and tissues. Still, with all of this progress, many drugs – even drugs discovered using the most advanced molecular biology strategies – have unacceptable side effects. Side effects limit our ability to design drug treatments for cancer, neurodegenerative, and infectious diseases. This lecture will discuss an alternate strategy for drug delivery, which is based on physical targeting, or placement of the delivery system at the target site. The effectiveness of this approach will be illustrated with examples of new treatments for cancer, cardiovascular, and infectious disease.

Visit one of the most beautiful spaces in the Library, the recently renovated classroom in Manuscripts and Archives. While there view a selection of fascinating materials from our holdings that are used by Yale faculty in their classes with undergraduates. Enter the classroom through the entrance at the fireplace end of the Linonia and Brothers (L&B) Reading Room.

In many arenas, the importance of a liberal arts education has come under attack. Yet Yale and its peer institutions remain committed to this form of undergraduate learning. What do we learn about the value of the liberal arts from the perspective of some its disciplines, including the humanities, social sciences and sciences?

Friday morning, we will feature several of Yale's distinguished faculty members, as well as some special tours around campus, and children's activities at Yale's Museums.

A self-guided tour at the Mead Visitor Center for families with children ages 6-11, with clues to fascinating architectural and sculptural details on campus. Also available on Saturday & Sunday, 11 am - 4 pm.

Self-Guided Activities

We encourage you to explore the galleries using our self-guided family activities, available at the Information Desk or as a PDF download. Our family guides are designed to be used in the gallery spaces to help you look more closely at art and to enjoy your time together in the museum. Please come and try one or all three.

Guide for Families—a booklet of activities for families to use in the museum
Self-Guided Architecture Activity—a guide to the Kahn building. Designed for kids ages 8-12
Felt and Yarn Kit—a take home kit that includes felt, yarn, and a small booklet. Encourages young people to look closely at art and make their own artwork using felt and yarn.

Also available Saturday and Sunday, 11 am - 5 pm.
