Denise Smith, professor of health and exercise sciences, served as the principal investigator for a national conference Dec. 2-4 in Washington, D.C., titled 鈥淗eart to Heart: Strategizing an Evidenced-based Approach to Reduce Cardiac Disease and Death in the Fire Service.鈥� The conference was funded by the National Institute of Occupational Health and Safety and hosted by the National Fallen Fighters Foundation. The conference brought together leading scientists to present the state of the art science on cardiac issues and leaders in the fire service to identify ways to translate current science into evidence-based practice that would reduce line of duty deaths and injuries in the fire service. Smith gave the keynote presentation and served as the facilitator of multiple sessions. Approximately 80 people attended the conference and several news stories have been written or posted about it.

The first history of the Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery 鈥� Everything is Connected 鈥� is now available for sale at the museum store and .

"Everything is Connected arose out of a simple question: How did a new and unique concept for a teaching museum evolve and become a reality on the 黑料吃瓜网 campus?" said the book's author, Barbara Kahn Moller '78, a 黑料吃瓜网 trustee, vice chair of the Tang's National Advisory Council, and a parent of two 黑料吃瓜网 alumni. "It is about the people and ideas behind the creation of the Tang Teaching Museum, which opened in 2000, and reveals how the museum is intertwined with 黑料吃瓜网's liberal arts mission by being an interdisciplinary space for object exhibition and the creation of new knowledge.

"What I found is the story about how a vision was transformed into an institution that has become a national leader among college and university museums," she said.

"Barbara's extensive research and in-depth interviews have made this remarkable document possible," said the Tang's Dayton Director Ian Berry. "We couldn't be happier with Everything is Connected."

The book also includes a foreword by 黑料吃瓜网 President Philip Glotzbach, an introduction by Berry, and an archive of exhibitions, publications, major events (such as Dunkerley Dialogues and Solomon Residencies), outreach to schools, and more. Stunning photography throughout enlivens the history with images of artwork, exhibitions, and people.

Everything is Connected, published by the Tang, was designed by Barbara Glauber and Kellie Konapelsky of Heavy Meta in New York City. The 208-page book retails for $35.
