Screening of "How Safe Are We?" (website description below) with guest speaker Dr. David Jones,MD, PhD. He is a lecturer in the Department of Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School and is the director of the Center for the Study of Diversity in Science, Technology, and Medicine at MIT.
"How Safe Are We?":In the last few decades, however, thirty new infectious diseases have emerged and one of them — AIDS — is becoming perhaps the most devastating epidemic in history. New diseases travel the globe with unprecedented rapidity, and older killers that once seemed controllable are roaring back with a vengeance. How Safe Are We? examines the most critical threats we face today — including avian flu — and the pressing need to strengthen global public health systems.
