Maryn McKenna: The Impotence of Antibiotics
November 19, 2015
Maryn McKenna is an award-winning journalist and the author of two critically acclaimed books, Superbug (2010) and Beating Back the Devil (2004). She writes for Wired, Scientific American, Slate, Nature, the Atlantic, the Guardian and others, and is a Senior Fellow of the Schuster Institute for Investigative Journalism at Brandeis University.
McKenna gave a riveting and fascinating talk at the Bob Graham Center on Thursday, Nov. 19 in the Pugh Hall Ocora. Her visit was part of the University of Florida’s Science Journalist in Residence program. The program was sponsored by the College of Journalism and Communications, UF Office of the Provost, and the UF Office of Research. During her talk, McKenna explored public health, global health, and food production and policy: ancient diseases, emerging infections, antibiotic resistance, agricultural planning, food-borne illness, and how we’ll feed an increasingly crowded world.
