The Galveston National Laboratory was officially dedicated Tuesday, and several news outlets covered the event. From the Galveston County Daily News: "Almost 1,000 medical branch employees, elected officials and even one Hollywood celebrity - actress Morgan Fairchild - attended the dedication of the Galveston National Lab, where researchers will study both naturally occurring diseases and microbes that might be altered and used by terrorists. ... The $174 million laboratory where researchers will develop drugs and vaccines to battle infectious diseases will forever change the University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston and possibly the lives of millions of people around the world." The article quotes Drs. David Callender and Stan Lemon, as well as U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison and interim UT chancellor Dr. Ken Shine.
