February 5 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm MST
The Scowcroft Institute of International Affairs at the Bush School of Government & Public Service at Texas A&M University will host Katherine Eban as she discusses “Investigating Public Health Mysteries in a Globalized World” on February 5, 2024, at 5:30 p.m. at the Annenberg Presidential Conference Center.
Americans want high-quality, affordable medication and safety from infectious diseases. But those public health goals are increasingly impacted by far-distant events, and far different regulatory cultures from our own. Katherine Eban, an award-winning investigative journalist, will describe the challenges and rewards of investigating big public health stories that have international and national security repercussions.
