Science Corner: Silent Science

June 16, 2021 by Andy Walsh No Comments

This week, I’m (virtually) attending the annual meeting of the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE), one of the largest gatherings of folks doing the day-to-day work of public health in the United States. Each day there are hundreds of talks and posters about investigations, research, and applied science that will never make headlines.

Science Corner: In the Hot Zone

June 12, 2019 by Andy Walsh 1 Comment

Electron micrograph of Ebola virus

Richard Preston’s The Hot Zone was not my first introduction to emerging infectious diseases. … Still, Preston’s controversial best seller likely introduced me to the Ebola virus and to concepts like biosafety level 4 laboratories.
