Sutton's Celebrates 100 Years

On an evening in 1982, the Tar Heels were to play the University of Maryland Terrapins in Carmichael Auditorium, then the home of the UNC men’s basketball team (which included a guard from Wilmington named Michael Jordan). The arena fit just under 7,000 guests – about a third of what the Dean E. Smith Center holds today – meaning getting a ticket was “virtually impossible,” says John Woodard...

Meet the Expert: Danny Gonzalez

In adulthood, the doses of commonplace medications become inherent to daily life. You can take one Advil tablet within a four-to-six-hour timespan, and if that pain persists, you can take a second. With children below the age of 12, however, the directions become less clear: ask a doctor.

Alice Noble: A History Remembered

Before the days of Kerr Hall and Pharmacy Lane, a small school sat on the first floor of The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s New West building. The laboratory – one that emitted foul odors and where students worked under poor lighting – would transform some 125 years later into one of the highest-ranked pharmaceutical schools in the nation: the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy.
