It is a great pleasure to introduce Dr. Patty Baker, who will be with us this semester as part of a faculty exchange with the University of Kent. Patty is originally from the states and earned her BA in Anthropology from Millersville University, an MA in Classics from Florida State University, an MA in Archaeology from the University of Newcastle, and a PhD in Classics and Archaeology from that same institution. A specialist in Graeco-Roman medicine, she is the author, co-author, or co-editor of 5 books and 16 articles and book chapters. Outside of academia, Patty can often be found on the sea. She enjoys racing as a crew on a Dart 18 catamaran and helming her Topaz dinghy. She also enjoys ballet, cycling, skiing, windsurfing, photography, painting and Ikebana. You can learn more about Patty and her many interests and accomplishments at: kent.ac.uk/secl/classics/staff/baker.html As many of you might know, she has come to Virginia Tech for the spring 2014 semester to teach courses in Greek and Roman Medicine and Roman Britain, while Glenn Bugh has gone to Kent to teach in their program. (This is the next stage in a collaboration with that institution that began when Dan Thorp co-taught a course with a colleague there on the American Revolution.) Welcome Dr. Baker
