Dr. J. Philip Fawley, professor of biology at Westminster College, continues the Biology Department's Sesquicentennial Seminar with "Changing Perspectives on Medical Treatment: 150 Years and Counting" Thursday, Nov. 7, at 7 p.m. in Phillips Lecture Hall of the Hoyt Science Resources Center.

"I will present a brief review of significant changes in medical treatment that have occurred since the founding of Westminster College," said Fawley. "We will explore the backgrounds of several key individuals to better understand the atmosphere that lead to key advances. We will also see that misconceptions involving certain topics persist after a century of research and development."

"In conjunction with celebrating Westminster's Sesquicentennial, this seminar series is intended to highlight important advances in the field of biology over the last 150 years," said Dr. Ann Throckmorton, associate professor and chair of biology.

The event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Fawley at (724) 946-7213 or e-mail fawleyjp@westminster.edu.
