SWINY EVENT

June 20, 2000, 6:30 pm

West Nile Virus

If the specter of West Nile virus--or the quality of last summer's reporting on it--has got you down, come to the next SWINY meeting, Tuesday, June 20, and hear Dr. Durland Fish, associate professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at Yale University School of Medicine.

Dr. Fish will tackle these controversies, and more:

• How well have public agencies responded to West Nile?
• Have we learned anything from last summer's experience?
• Who is responsible for communicating the science of West Nile to the public--and why aren't they doing a better job?

Dinner starts at 6:30 pm (eats from Eli's Vinegar factory)
Talk begins at 7:15 pm
