Polio pioneers needed

The University will celebrate the 50th anniversary of this landmark achievement April 12 in Rackham Auditorium.

A special commemorative Web site will offer historical information and background.

We need your help finding some of the brave children who stepped forward to get a shot, not knowing if it would be the real vaccine or a fake "placebo," and not knowing if it would be safe and effective.

Send an e-mail to lifesciences@umich.edu or call (734) 764-7260.
