Swine flu. Anthrax. Mad cow disease. HIV. It is easy to understand how biological threats like these can terrify an anxious public. What's not so easy is getting clear, objective assessments of the realities of these threats when outbreaks—and the misinformation they inevitably generate—lead to either too much concern or not enough.
Joan R. Callahan has a PhD from the University of Arizona and has worked as a researcher and consultant for over 30 years, most recently as an epidemiologist for the Naval Health Research Center and as a contractor for the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
