Renowned Journalist Laurie Garrett Gives Lecture on SARS
Renowned journalist and author Laurie Garrett gave a timely and riveting lecture on "SARS and Other Emerging Diseases in a World Out of Balance," at the 2003 Jill and Ken Iscol Distinguished Environmental Lecture hosted by the Cornell University's Center for the Environment (Ithaca campus). At the event, held June 16 in the Medical College's Uris Auditorium, alumni of Cornell University in Ithaca and friends of the Medical College came to hear Ms. Garrett's talk on illnesses including SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), which appears to have originated in southern China. Studies also suggest that SARS developed through a process called zoonosis, which refers to diseases that can be passed from animals to humans.
