The professor of infectious diseases at the University of Colorado School of Medicine had spent his entire career studying emerging pathogens such as SARS, and the news coming out of China at the time, about a novel coronavirus with a high human-to-human transmission rate, led him to believe a pandemic was possible. “It seemed like there was a tidal wave coming,” says Dominguez, who is also a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Children’s Hospital Colorado, “and medical facilities needed to gear up.”

Athletes—including 15 from Colorado—are highlighted throughout the exhibit, and their sensation-seeking scores are displayed so visitors can see how their own scores compare.

To people like Monika Nuffer, a clinical pharmacist and herbal specialist at UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital’s Integrative Medicine Center, that means it’s time for medical providers to learn more about complementary approaches. This past fall she launched an integrative health and medicine graduate certificate, which focuses on herbs and supplements, for pharmacists in the University of Colorado’s Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
