Kelly Reynolds, MSPH, PhD, Associate Professor at the Zuckerman College of Public Health, will speak about "Where the Germs are:  Staying Healthy in a World of Emerging Infections" on April 10, 2008 at the Arizona Inn, Tucson Room.  Despite dramatic improvements in the understanding and identification of infectious disease causing agents in our environment, new threats continue to emerge.  From pandemic flu and food borne outbreaks to MRSA and antibiotic resistance, microbial pathogens and humans continue to cross paths, freqauently resulting in adverse public health effects.  Dr. Reynolds will be discussing how we are most likely to be exposed to pathogenic microbes and give sound advice on how to maintain a healthier environment and minimize illness risks.  Dr. Reynolds has been recently featured nationally on the Today Show, the Montel Williams Show, in Parents and Self magazines and others.
