Jenner Museum welcomes artist
The Edward Jenner Museum now has a video artist in residence: Fiona Kam Meadley will record life at the museum, such as the recent archaeological dig, encourage young filmmakers in Berkeley, and do a "Ghosts in the Attic” video installation.
Museum Director Sarah Parker says “There's lots in the story of Edward Jenner to inspire young people today, to help them relate to the science of immunology, and video is a great medium to do this".
