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
