Dr. James Thomas

Dr. James Thomas

James Thomas, PhD, associate professor of epidemiology in UNC’s Gillings School of Global Public Health, will provide information about H1N1 in the context of epidemics and pandemics — what we might expect and how we can prepare. Are these outbreaks inevitable? What are the roles of public health agencies and the media when outbreaks occur?

The Current Science Forum is free and open to the public. Thomas’s presentation is in Morehead’s Banquet Hall and will be followed by informal discussions and light refreshments. For more information, visit www.moreheadplanetarium.org or call Morehead Guest Relations at (919) 962-1236.
