LifeScience Moment: Clara Barton founded the American Association of the Red Cross.
On May 21, 1881, Clara Barton, named the "Angel of the Battlefield" during the Civil War, founded the American Association of the Red Cross which
she led until 1904.
During a visit to Europe in 1869, she discovered the Red Cross Movement in Switzerland and upon her return to the U.S. took steps
to establish a U.S. organization. Incorporated as The American National Red Cross in 1893, the organization was given charters by Congress in
1900 and in 1905. The 1905 charter and its amendments provide the basis for today's American Red Cross and the close working relationship between
the organization and the federal government.

Science Quote
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
