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. Dr. Marraccino is also an advisor at the National Lighthouse Museum\, and previously lectured on the Quarantine with Dr. Vigorito. \nRegister Today!

SUMMARY:Celebrating 250 Years of our American Lighthouses
DESCRIPTION:From the time the first ship left port thousands of years ago and promptly hit a rock and sank\, “Lighthouses” have been guiding mariners along the often unknown and treacherous shores the world over. Our nation was a relative latecomer to the world of “Navigational Aides”\, but science\, technology\, courage\, and dedication soon made our American lighthouses the envy of the world. Join lighthouse volunteer\, historian\, and author Jack Graham in a pictorial tour of lighthouse evolution from 1776 to today. \nMr. Graham is a retired Pennsylvania state park manager\, always involved in operation and maintenance of historic sites to include colonial-era farms\, grist mills\, iron furnaces\, and farmstead buildings. Since retirement in 2005\, Mr. Graham and his wife have spent a part of each summer as docents at 17 different lighthouses across the U.S. and Canada. \nRegister Today!
