World War D


Disease and public health


Zombie apocalypses may be fictional, but real health issues can have a harsh bite too. 

"World War D" is not only a clever twist on the title of a movie staring Brad Pitt, but also the name of an upcoming panel discussion about disease and public health struggles. 

The panel discussion will cover the struggles and politics of epidemics, health care access, vaccination, and antibiotic resistance. Faculty panelists from the biology department, school of medicine and social sciences, will explain how to face these threats with intelligence. 

Hosted by Speak Up Speak Out, the event will begin with a short video then move on to the panel discussion on Monday, Jan. 26 in the Charles V. Park Library Auditorium at 7 p.m.
