SUMMARY:Safety and Healing: Public Health and Discovery on Staten Island
DESCRIPTION:This talk traces Staten Island’s role in American public health and safety\, beginning with the world-renowned Dr. Benjamin Rush and local leadership spearheaded by Dr. Richard Bayley\, first health officer of the NY State Quarantine and Marine Hospital established at the Watering Place. We will journey outward to nearby Staten Island places such as the Seamen’s Retreat to the south—later a federal research laboratory and a U.S. Marine Hospital at the forefront of identifying and treating infectious disease.  The journey then moves inland to Sea View Hospital\, site of a landmark antibiotic trial for the cure of tuberculosis and the discovery of the first antidepressant drug. The talk will also spotlight Joseph Henry\, eminent scientist and inaugural director of the Smithsonian\, whose experiments at the U.S. Lighthouse Service Depot transformed lighthouse illumination and foghorn design\, strengthening navigational safety for seafarers nationwide. Together\, these stories show how maritime safety and medical discovery on Staten Island shaped national public health. \nAbout the Speakers: Dr. Vigorito is a Professor of Psychology at Seton Hall University recently retired from his full-time position after 33 years of teaching and now serves as a part-time senior scientist in Seton Hall’s Institute of Neuroimmune Pharmacology. Dr. Vigorito is a trustee at the National Lighthouse Museum and has a long interest in the history of the place once known as the Watering Place.  \nDr Marraccino is an Adjunct\, Associate Professor at CUNY and trained Fellow\, associated with Bio-Rad Laboratories\,Biotechnology\, Explorer program. I bring over 25 years of teaching experience advancing STEM and Career and Technical Education (retired from: NYCDOE\, CTE) programs.
