Global Pandemics | “Pandemic: From Cholera to Ebola and Beyond”

PRE-TALK: 6:30 p.m., Steinhart Room, Lied Center, by Michele M. Bever, president, Nebraska Association of Local Health Directors; adjunct associate professor, UNMC College of Public Health; executive director, South Heartland District Health Department

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, Zika, and avian influenza to drug-resistant superbugs.

Sponsored by the UNL School of Biological Sciences, College of Journalism and Mass Communications, and Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity.

Additional Public Info:
Note: Sonia Shah’s Nov.9 lecture was postponed to Jan.24, due to unforeseen circumstances. All original tickets are still valid and will be accepted.
