# Event Details

- **Event Name**: LIFE in the Bubble: LIFE Magazine & The LOBUND Germ-Free Lab
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 21 Nov, 2025 at 02:00 pm – Fri, 21 Nov, 2025 at 02:45 pm
- **Event Description**: Join David Boone, professor of microbiology and immunology, Indiana University School of Medicine–South Bend, and adjunct professor of biology, Notre Dame, and David Acton, curator of photographs in the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art, for a gallery talk. Boone and Acton will discuss the science and art of W. Eugene Smith's 1949 photographs of the University’s Laboratory of Bacteriology (LOBUND).

Smith visited Notre Dame in 1949 as a staff photographer for LIFE Magazine to document the cutting-edge scientific research taking place in the LOBUND lab. Some of the photographs on display in the Museum were published in a photo essay titled “Life Without Germs,” detailing new experiments raising animals in sterile environments, free of bacteria. Smith’s acute visual sense, reflexes to capture action, and instinct for storytelling combined in dynamic ways to engage readers in the ordered and measured laboratory activities.

The display of these photographs and the gallery talk in the Raclin Murphy’s Teaching Gallery are offered in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the University's Department of Biological Sciences.
