Science and Society Lecture Series
Laurie Garrett is one of America's most eloquent, forceful and prescient speakers on global healthcare, infectious disease, and disease prevention. The only person to win the three "P"s of journalism - the Pulitzer, the Polk and the Peabody - Garrett makes plain the science behind new threats to public health, both natural and man-made, and the politics that sometimes help, and sometimes hinder, how we prepare, treat and respond to them.
A Senior Fellow for Global Heath at the Council on Foreign Relations, she is the bestselling author of The Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases in a World Out of Balance and Betrayal of Trust: The Collapse of Global Public Health. She has written for Foreign Affairs, Esquire, and The Washington Post, and appears frequently on television shows, such as Nightline, Charlie Rose and Oprah. Garrett is a former president, and now a member, of the National Association of Science Writers.
