What do you get when you mix an evening of intriguing conversation, good food and drink, and science? A Science Café, of course! The Science Cafe concept -- an informal discussion surrounding cutting edge science and research. Welcome Kendra Williams, Administrator of Community Health and Epidemiology, Springfield/Greene County Health Dept. She will discuss Emerging Infectious Diseases. - In 1967, the US Surgeon General stated that the war against infectious diseases has been won. While we have seen great strides to reduce infectious diseases, there are still new diseases emerging and re-emerging on a regular basis. The recently released movie Contagion demonstrates the potential risks associated with disease. -
