SUMMARY:SC Book Club June 5\, 2023\, at 2-4pm – Fellows & External Fellows Only - Zoom Only
DESCRIPTION:June 5\, 2023\, 2-4pm\, – Fellows and External Fellows  \nSteven Johnson\, The Ghost Map: The Story of London’s Most Terrifying Epidemic – and How It Changed Science\, Cities\, and the Modern World (2006) \nDiscussion Leader: William Logan \nThe Ghost Map is a gripping multi disciplinary account of London’s cholera epidemic in the 1850s and how one simple public health measure – removing a public pump handle – halted this water-borne disease in one neighbourhood. It provides a graphic description of the state of the sanitary conditions in London in the 1850s\, the beginnings of Public Health and epidemiology\, and the conditions like large scale farming and improved transportation that supported the growth of large cities in general and how densification of people gave rise to potential for pathogenic spread of diseases. Particularly before germ theory was accepted\, public health measures based on wrong ideas could cause more death and disease. We can appreciate how much better lives are now because of public health policies but realize that public health organizations are not infallible particularly when not based on solid empirical findings and undermined by superstition. This book was written long before Covid\, but one can certainly ask whether this is still true today. \nAlthough the current wisdom was that cholera was a miasmic disease\, i.e. due to “bad air”\, Dr John Snow published work indicating that the disease was due to ingestion of something which was probably water borne. It was not well accepted. Several years later he was living in Soho in London when there was a neighbourhood outbreak of cholera. He noted a high concentration around a particular pump and did more footwork to document the high correlation of death and disease with where people got their water (creating the “ghost map” of the title). This led to removal of the pump handle: one of the earliest examples of public health measures by a municipality. Snow’s discovery is an example of convergence of ability and opportunity which Malcolm Gladwell would say is the basis for most extraordinary human accomplishments. \n(available in print\, audiobook\, e-book\, 260 pp with 40 pp notes) \nLink to register: https://forms.office.com/r/1h1dwcq4GW \nThe deadline to register is the morning of the the event before 8:00am.

SUMMARY:Summer Wednesday Talk: June 7\, 2023\, 2-4pm - Zoom only. Speaker: Katherine Corcoran  Title: “In the Mouth of the Wolf: A Murder\, A Cover-up\, and the True Cost of Silencing the Press”
DESCRIPTION:June 7\, 2023 \nSpeaker: Katherine Corcoran \nTitle: “In the Mouth of the Wolf: A Murder\, A Cover-up\, and the True Cost of Silencing the Press” \nAbstract: Katherine Corcoran will discuss her investigations as Associated Press Mexico bureau chief that led to her recently published book\, In the Mouth of the Wolf: A Murder\, A Cover-up\, and the True Cost of Silencing the Press. It began with the murder of Regina Martinez\, a Mexican journalist well-known for writing about government corruption. Corcoran travelled to Martinez’ home state of Veracruz to uncover what led to her killing. Corcoran’s work illustrates how silencing the free press—by the danger of murder—threatens basic protections and the rule of law across the globe. \nBio: Katherine Corcoran is a former Associated Press bureau chief for Mexico and Central America. She has been an Alicia Patterson fellow\, the Hewlett Fellow for Public Policy at the Kellogg Institute at the University of Notre Dame\, and a Logan Nonfiction Program fellow. At the AP\, she led an award-winning team that broke major stories about cartel and state violence and abuse of authority in Mexico and Central America. Her columns about Mexican politics and press freedom have appeared in the Washington Post\, the Houston Chronicle\, and Univision Online\, among other publications. She was codirector of Cronkite Noticias\, the bilingual reporting program at Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication\, and is co-leader of MasterLAB\, an investigative editor training program in Mexico City. \nLink to register: https://forms.office.com/r/a8myiKPBX0 \nThe deadline to register is the morning of the the event before 8:00am.
