The Mack Lipkin Man and Nature Series was established in honor of Dr. Mack Lipkin, Sr., by his many friends and admirers. Dr. Lipkin was a physician who was a gentle and powerful force towards advancing the most humane and caring practices of medicine. The Museum is proud to welcome Gabriela Chavarria, Christopher Filardi, and Erika Zavaleta as the 2011 Mack Lipkin Man and Nature Series Fellows.
