"Doctor Chang standing outside his laboratory at the Worcester Foundation for Experimental Biology -- Shrewsbury (Mass.) in the winter of 1945. Min-Chueh Chang's development of oral contraception with Gregory Goodwin Pincus and John Rock changed human society. Chang also collaborated with Cyril Adams in the 1950s on embryo transfer in farm animals, which led to Chang's innovation of in vitro fertilization, or test-tube fertilization. Dr. Chang's office is now in the Smithsonian in Washington, D. C."

This was at 222 Maple Ave. in Shrewsbury. UMass still owns the property and buildings. While run down, they still have some functioning labs there. The former Center for Mindfulness also located there is a pretty cool looking building.

I used to work in that building when it housed Commonwealth Medicine, the public policy consulting arm of UMass Med School.

I knew CWM was at the South Street campus but did not know they were also at Maple Ave!

CWM was "born" at 222 Maple. In 2008 they started moving to other locations when layoffs and other drama started. I think I moved offices 3 times before I got laid off with a bunch of other folks in 2010.
