  on November 7\, 2017 at Centre Mont-Royal and this year\, we are extremel
 y happy to have none other than Laurie Garrett\, Pulitzer Prize Winner & A
 uthor of The Coming Plague and Betrayal of Trust\, as our keynote speaker.
 \n\nAbout Laurie Garrett\n\nLaurie Garrett is one of America’s most truste
 d speakers on global public health\, infectious disease\, and\, recently\,
  the Ebola crisis and the emerging Zika virus. The only person to win the 
 three P’s of journalism—the Pulitzer\, the Polk\, and the Peabody—she expl
 ains the science behind new threats\, and navigates the politics that help
 \, and hinder\, how we prepare and how we respond to them. \n\nDuring the 
 Ebola crisis of 2014\, Laurie Garrett offered unrivaled commentary on Twit
 ter\, through her blog\, and as the go-to expert in the media. The Chairma
 n of the Joint Chiefs of Staff—General Martin E. Dempsey—took to Facebook 
 to praise Garrett and her book The Coming Plague\, writing that “its lesso
 ns in how disease has shaped human history are uncannily relevant to today
 ’s Ebola crisis ... this book is worth the read to understand infectious o
 utbreaks like Ebola and how we’re shaping our national response.” Today\, 
 she’s doing the same for the new Zika epidemic\, providing up-to-date inte
 lligence on its scope and severity\, and the search for a vaccine.\n\nA Se
 nior Fellow for Global Health at the Council on Foreign Relations\, Garret
 t is the bestselling author of The Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases 
 in a World Out of Balance\, Betrayal of Trust: The Collapse of Global Publ
 ic Health and I Heard The Sirens Scream: How Americans Responded to the 9/
 11 and Anthrax Attacks. She has written for Foreign Affairs\, Esquire\, an
 d The Washington Post\, and appears frequently on television shows\, such 
 as Nightline\, Charlie Rose and Oprah.\n\nGarrett was a script consultant 
 to Contagion\, the film directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring Matt Da
 mon. She is a former president and now a member of the National Associatio
 n of Science Writers\, and has been awarded several honorary PhDs\, the la
 test from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. She is also serving
  as a co-chair on the UNAIDS High Commission on HIV Prevention.    \n
