[Sci-tech-public] MIT Museum talk on Global Pandemics

[Deborah Douglas]

Tomorrow night at the MIT Museum......


Tuesday, Nov 17th from 6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
Soap Box: Global Pandemics
 From SARS to H1N1, diseases are traveling faster and farther that  
ever before in our increasingly interconnected world. New disease  
analysis tools and vaccine and antiviral technologies could tip the  
balance, or one bad bug might wipe us all out. Which way will it go?  
Professor Hidde Ploegh talks about the weapons we have now to fight  
pandemics and new tools in the pipeline, and invites you to discuss  
challenges for privacy, biodefense, and public health that arise in  
the aggressive response to a pandemic. Join the conversation and help  
figure out the appropriate response to a threat to civilization itself.

Free admission, refreshments served

The event will be webcast live and archived on MIT World.  You can
