Alain Touwaide will discuss their research into the medical traditions of the Mediterranean at the National College for Natural Medicines in Portland, Oregon on October 30 and November 1. Alain Touwaide will also present a special lecture entitled, The Legacy of Greece to Modern World Medicine at the Hellenic-American Cultural Center and Museum on Saturday, November 2, 2013.
Emanuela and Alain founded the Institute for the Preservation of Medical Traditions. The Institute is a research and education organization with non-profit 501(c)(3) status hosted by the Smithsonian. Through the Institute, Emanuela and Alain pursue their research activities, including research for the PLANT program. The acronym PLANT stands for PLantarum Aetatis Novae Tabulae (meaning in Latin Renaissance botanical illustrations).
The research Emanuela and Alain conduct is fascinating. If you have an interest in medicinal plants, herbals or history, their lectures are not to be missed.
