Abstract

The 2023 Health Sciences and Human Services Calendar, Fatal Beauty, features a selection of botanicals from the Historical Collections department. The Fatal Beauty Calendar was inspired by an exhibit with the same name installed in the Weise Gallery in Summer 2022. It features botanicals with medicinal purposes but fatal results if used inappropriately.
