This historic 1980’s photograph, taken within what was a National Communicable Disease Center (NCDC), Influenza Testing Laboratory, depicted Penny Gentry, a laboratorian, entering data into an influenza-specific database, while seated at a computer workstation. The NCDC (1967-1970) was one of the forerunners of the more contemporary Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which was officially named in 1992.
