Rx for Survival Film Screening
Tomorrow, Tuesday, October 24th, at 6pm in the Orange & Brew, we will be screening Deadly Messengers, part of the PBS documentary Rx for Survival.
Since the plague killed millions of Europeans in the Middle Ages, vector-borne diseases — those that rely on insects and animals to spread infectious agents — have posed a serious threat to public health. Today, the most dangerous vector on earth is the mosquito. From malaria to yellow fever to West Nile virus, mosquito-borne diseases continue to threaten the health of millions around the world. Deadly Messengers recounts the stories of heroic scientists and health workers who battled against the mosquito, and examines current efforts to control dangerous and spreading vector-borne diseases.
You can check out clips and other handy info at their website. Hope to see you tomorrow!

Hello out there! I was looking for contact information for the leadership of UAEM-UF, but couldn’t find any. This was the only contact method I could think of. Anyway, I was at the meeting in JWRU 276, last Thursday. I want to help with the blog idea - feel free to add my e-mail address to a list serv/e-mail list.
Sincerely,
Chris Gamboa
