Global Pandemics | “Pandemic: From Cholera to Ebola and Beyond” Tuesday, January 24, 2017 - 7:00pm

Location: Education Center Auditorium

Scientists agree that a pathogen is likely to cause a global pandemic in the near future. But which one? And how? Drawing on her own meticulous research, Sonia Shah will explore these questions by way of the tragic tale of cholera, one of history’s most disruptive and deadly pathogens. She will then turn her attention to the new pathogens that stalk humankind today, from Ebola and avian influenza to drug-resistant superbugs.
