Against the Odds opened at the National Library of Medicine on April 16, 2008. The launch was accompanied by a program for high school students from Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, in which speakers whose accomplishments are highlighted in the exhibition gave inspirational talks about how they are making a difference. Check out this series of 5 podcasts to hear them, released in January 2009 in conjunction with the month's focus on Careers in Global Health.
