This traveling exhibit from the National Library of Medicine focuses on the AIDS epidemic that arose in the United States in the 1980s. As the disease spread, so did fear and confusion. The infectious “rare cancer” bewildered researchers and bred suspicion. Many feared contact with those who were ill. “Surviving and Thriving: AIDS, Politics and Culture” explores human stories in the ever-changing relationship between science and society. nlm.nih.gov/exhibition/surviving-and-thriving/index.html
