Ali S. Khan, M.D., M.P.H., dean of the UNMC College of Public Health, will recount some of his extraordinary lifetime adventures with the world’s deadliest diseases when he reads from his new book, “The Next Pandemic: On the Front Lines Against Humankind’s Gravest Dangers,” on Aug. 25.
He will share exciting stories about Ebola, the anthrax attack after Sept. 11, monkeypox and the plague.
Dr. Khan spent 20 years at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), including five as the director of CDC’s Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response. Now, as dean, he has an important voice in the global conversation about how to survive the next pandemic.
The hour-long reading, followed by a question and answer period, book signing and refreshments will start at 4:30 p.m. in the Maurer Center of Public Health, Room 3013.
RSVP is requested — send to Catherine Ely, executive assistant to Dr. Khan, by Aug. 19.
The book is available through Amazon — Kindle edition is $12.99; hardcover is $17.30. The UNMC Bookstore also will be on-site for sales and orders of the book for $25; cash or card accepted.
Congrats Ali. Best regards, Susan Shaw
