David J. Sencer CDC Museum
- Lester Martin
I had to travel into downtown today to put a rush on a passport reprint due to my visa pages being full. When I was faced with a three hour waiting period, I realized today was going to be the day I finally made it over to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Museum an the CDC Headquarters next to Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.
The exhibits themselves were of very high quality, but the overall quantity of the exhibits was rather low. I’m cool with that as A) the CDC has many other important things to do than to have a kick-ass museum and B) admission was free! Most of the rest of this blog post is just of pictures that I took while wondering around.
This next one brought unpleasant memories from Army Basic Training when they just zapped everyone with a high-pressure injector like this! Don’t flinch when they are using this on you!!
Glad I finally visited this museum, but for visitors there are surely many other points of interest ahead of this one and I don’t feel it is a “day one” activity for any visitor beyond the virologists and epidemiologists among us.
