Exhibition poster for TTake Two and Call Me in the Morning: The Story of Aspirin Revisited

June 23 - August 5, 2025

 Take Two and Call Me in the Morning: The Story of Aspirin Revisited

 Guest curated by Anne Rothfeld, PhD    (National Library of Medicine), this    traveling banner exhibition and companion website examine how modern organic chemistry and technology     isolated, then synthesized nature’s properties into a medication now     common worldwide.

For centuries, people used willow bark to relieve pain and treat fevers.         However, it wasn’t until the late 1800s that scientists developed an analog of the active ingredient in willow bark,   creating the essential drug that’s now part of everyday life, aspirin. By the latter half of the 20th century, scientists had begun examining aspirin for benefits beyond pain relief and fever      reduction. The Story of Aspirin Revisited expands on the content of a 1959 NLM exhibition about the same topic.

The National Library of Medicine produced this exhibition and companion website.
