Last Monday, Feb. 23, was Contagion Day on campus. In the Campus Center Dining Room, Longview's own Dr. Brian Mitchell led a discussion on infectious diseases after the group watched the 2003 PBS documentary "Hot Zones". Only one problem - I didn't make it to campus on Monday for the presentation. But I know a lot of you did! My 'inside sources' told me there were at least 70 people crammed into the Dining Room and others turned away at the door after seeing the crowd (perfectly understandable, considering that large groups of people, cramped spaces and infectious diseases aren't a very good mix...)
So - for those of you who were there - how'd you like it? What did you learn? What did you like? Anything you didn't like? Give me the full review and help those who, like me, weren't there in person. Thanks!
PS - For slackers like myself, the DVD is on reserve at the Circulation Desk in the library. It checks out for two days. AND it's narrated by Matt Damon, so how about that? You can also check out the PBS website for the series here (complete with Matt Damon biography!). Again, the episode's title is "Hot Zones".
PPS - OK. One disgusting photo. But it's a bad one. Ready? Click here
No takers yet, huh? Did Dr. Mitchell swear everyone to secrecy?
