Magic, Medicine and MSNBC

The UCF College of Medicine’s Harriet F. Ginsburg Health Sciences Library played host to potions, wands, monsters and history recently, thanks to a traveling exhibit featuring the link between medical history and the modern Harry Potter sensation.
“Harry Potter’s World: Renaissance Science, Magic and Medicine” is an exhibit on loan to the college from the National Library of Medicine. The exhibit shows how Harry Potter’s adventures at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry actually have their basis in the early history of science and medicine.
On August 12, Mark Waddell, Ph.D., a historian of early modern science and medicine, spoke at the college about what Renaissance medicine means to us today. Dr. Waddell’s research focuses on the intersections between science, religion and art in the Jesuit order, and he has developed an undergraduate curriculum on Harry Potter and medical history.
