Daniel R Lucey, MD is an infectious disease physician who travels to epidemics; e.g. SARS, MERS, Influenza, Anthrax, Ebola, Zika, & Yellow Fever.
 
In August 2014, after working with Ebola in Western Africa, he proposed an Exhibit on Epidemics to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History (NMNH). Three and a half years later, in a synergy of strengths through consultation with dozens of people and organizations working in global infectious diseases, the exhibit opened on May 18, 2018. It will run for three years at the NMNH and a 'traveling' version is available to be shared with the whole world.(Contact   [email protected] for details) 
 
Couched in One Health, the exhibit educates the public about working together across professions to find prevention and treatment solutions for zoonotic infectious diseases such as Ebola, Influenza, HIV/AIDS, Zika, MERS, Nipah, & SARS. The Curator is Dr. Sabrina Sholts, an NMNH anthropologist.
