My recent posts have focused on different aspects of public health: from exploring the scientific advancements that have shaped global health to discussing a new way of acquiring antibiotic resistance in disease causing bacteria.
To continue the public health theme I invite you to check out Christine Gorman's talk given at the Global Health Council conference in Washington DC.

Also check out fellow science blogger Dr. Tara C. Smith's post about Christine's talk.
