Summary
[edit]_(33967909352).jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | In 1918, wanting to aid in the war effort, Dr. Alice Evans inquired of the Hygienic Laboratory whether her services might be of use in connection with the war effort. She learned that a position in bacteriology was open in the Laboratory, and Evans was accepted for the job. She joined a team working to improve the serum treatment for epidemic meningitis. Evans retired in 1945 from the National Institute (later Institutes) of Health. Never one to back down on her beliefs, Evans protested in 1966, at the age of 85, that the disclaimer of communist affiliation on the Medicare application violated her right of free speech. In January 1967, the Department of Justice conceded that this provision was unconstitutional, and it was never enforced. She died in Virginia at the age of 94. In 1963 she wrote her Memoirs. <a href="https://history.nih.gov/archives/downloads/aliceevans.pdf" rel="nofollow">history.nih.gov/archives/downloads/aliceevans.pdf</a> |
