Dear Indian Supercourse friends, In response to the threat of H1N1, Rashid Chotani, MD has developed an excellent Just-in-time (JIT) Supercourse lecture. This lecture has been translated into 11 different languages in less than a week and it has been updated to keep it current with new developments in the spread of the virus. Please visit this lecture at http://www.pitt.edu/~super1/lecture/lec34601/index.htm .The lecture has been seen by millions of people. As you know, our goal is to provide the best network of global health experts and lectures for use in classrooms and television. He is currently updating this concerning the situation in India We would like to work with the Indian Network to set up similar to something developed in China. Jesse Huang was approached by CCTV, the highest rated TV show to present on H1N1. He presented the Supercourse lecture and served as an expert consultant. He reached an amazing 50 million people. It was very successful as many in China as our information was viewed as more credible then that from the Government and the Media. We are seeking members of the India Network who have links to the media so that you and others could provide expert, credible information on H1N1 using the Supercourse lectures. This can be a global model for knowledge sharing between scientists, and the media for India and the world. We would like to work with you to disseminate this lecture to the greatest number of people in India. With regards, Mita Mita Lovalekar, MBBS, PhD, MPH and Ron Ronald E.
