Sencer CDC Museum occupies part of the headquarters of the CDC, the only federal agency headquartered outside the <a href=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/washington-dc-americas-monumental-city\/\">Washington, D.C.<\/a> area. My first clue these folks are, um, deadly serious about their work here? Armed guards at the gate to this vast complex used mirrors to check for bombs under our tour bus and kept their eyes trained on us as we were escorted inside the building. We submitted photo IDs and went through a security screening that would make a TSA supervisor proud.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15364\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15364\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15364\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Biosafety-Suit.jpg\" alt=\"putting on a biosafety suit at the David J.

But for groups of 10 to 30, I highly recommend booking tours guided by CDC employees who volunteer their time to tell visitors about the important work that percolates behind these walls. When she isn\u2019t guiding visitors on her lunch break, our docent, Latoya Simmons, told us she studies foodborne illnesses. She specializes in salmonella and e coli. Sweet.<\/p>\n<p>The museum occupies two floors, the top devoted to temporary topics on global health. Through May 1, 2020, \u201cChanging Winds: Public Health and Indian Country\u201d will demonstrate how tribal nations in the U.S. address modern-day health challenges while using traditional knowledge and practices.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom floor exhibits explain the work and history of the CDC. The agency grew out of a desire to eradicate malaria, a big problem in the South in the early 1900s that drew the attention of Robert Woodruff, former president of The Coca-Cola Co. based in Atlanta. He had a hunting preserve and farm hit hard by malaria and created a fund to study the disease at Atlanta\u2019s Emory University. In 1946, the Communicable Disease Center, or CDC, was founded and began work in a small office in the city. Its mission: malaria. A year later, Woodruff helped make a deal with Emory to sell the federal government 15 acres adjacent to the university for the tidy sum of $10. CDC employees ponied up the money, a dime a piece. On this site, the CDC expanded its mission to promote global health, prevent disease and respond to bioterrorism and other medical emergencies around the world. The museum opened in 1996 on the CDC\u2019s 50<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary and became an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution welcoming 90,000 visitors a year.<\/p>\n<p>From historical exhibits about malaria I moved on to other chilling topics such as swine flu, smallpox, the Zika virus, Ebola and post-9\/11 issues. Remember the anthrax scare?<\/p>\n<p>Simmons helped members of our group try on head-to-toe biosafety suits worn in some CDC labs. After mugging for cameras we quickly peeled off the blue suits that had become suffocatingly hot and gained a new appreciation for the day-to-day work of scientists here.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15363\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15363\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15363\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Legionella-Bacteria.jpg\" alt=\"bottle of chiller water containing dead Legionella bacteria\" width=\"540\" height=\"736\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Legionella-Bacteria.jpg 540w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Legionella-Bacteria-220x300.jpg 220w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15363\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><center><span style=\"font-size: small;\">The David J.

Another exhibit took me back to the 1969 moon landing. The CDC worked with NASA to quarantine astronauts upon their return to Earth on the off chance they encountered nasty alien bugs in outer space.<\/p>\n<p>Posters, films and artifacts addressed present-day health issues: obesity, cancer, diabetes, smoking, AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases. Though not preachy or scolding, the displays prompted me to leave the museum vowing to lose weight, improve my diet, exercise more and get a flu shot.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/museum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">David J.
