HEALTH STORYTELLING: Book talk with Dr. Tom Frieden, former director of the CDC

Presented by Emory University - Center for the Study of Human Health, Georgia Center for the Book, Emory Center for Public Scholarship and Engagement, IDEAS Festival Emory

How do we stop the world's worst killers? Dr. Tom Frieden knows because he has been there — in the field in the US and abroad as a disease detective, and in the director's suite at the CDC under President Barack Obama. On a livestream, he'll discuss his new book THE FORMULA FOR BETTER HEALTH with journalist Maryn McKenna, laying out what's worked in the past and what we need to do now to improve the world's health and our own.
