DESCRIPTION:The Center for Science and the Common Good  welcomes Peter L.
  Salk\, M.D.\, to campus. Dr. Salk\, son of Jonas Salk  (developer of th
 e polio vaccine) and president of the Jonas Salk Legacy Foundation\, wil
 l deliver a lecture and host of screening of the film The Shot Felt 'Rou
 nd the World. Dr.  Salk graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Harvard University
  in 1965 and Alpha  Omega Alpha from Johns Hopkins University School of 
 Medicine in 1969.  Following two years of house staff training in intern
 al medicine at the  University Hospitals of Cleveland\, he worked in his
  father's laboratory  at the Salk Institute from 1972 to 1984 conducting
  research on  immunotherapy of cancer\, autoimmune disease and strategie
 s for vaccine  production. He worked again with his father from 1991 to 
 1995 on a  project to develop an inactivated vaccine for HIV infection\,
  and  subsequently worked on the introduction of AIDS treatment programs
  in  Africa and Asia. As President of the Jonas Salk Legacy Foundation\,
  he is  currently devoting attention to the various aspects of his fathe
 r's  legacy and their potential contributions to helping humanity addres
 s its  present and future challenges and opportunities.The images and me
 mories in The Shot Felt 'Round the World are still familiar to those of 
 a certain age. Children in braces or  iron lungs. The terrifying fear th
 at washed over America each summer: a  fear that out of nowhere a seemin
 gly healthy child would catch polio and  be crippled or killed. A fear s
 o great that children were forbidden to  play at pools\, playgrounds and
  movie theaters. And\, then\, a medical  miracle occurred\, and with it\
 , a medical superstar was made: Dr. Jonas  Salk\, whose name became syno
 nymous with a vaccine that he initially  requested not be named after hi
 m. Less widely known are the events that  took place from 1949 to 1955\,
  a six-year period that changed the medical  community and the country f
 orever: how a beloved\, polio-afflicted  President inspired a nation to 
 send their dimes to the unlikely place of  the University of Pittsburgh\
 , and how there\, an entire community pulled  together to conquer the mo
 st feared disease of the 20th century.
