Anne Schuchat, MD (RADM, USPHS)

Admiral Anne Schuchat - director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, and Assistant Surgeon General of the United States – was regarded by myself, along with many others, as perhaps the best communicator at the CDC during the 2009 pandemic.
She managed to convey rapidly changing, unscripted information clearly and concisely – while acknowledging the things about the virus that were still unknown – in almost daily briefings during the opening months of the outbreak.
Not an easy job.
Dr. Schuchat will be speaking live later today at Duke University on the challenges of monitoring and containing influenza epidemics and lessons learned from past epidemics such as H1N1 and SARS.
You can watch this speech on the Duke University USTREAM video channel at 5:45pm EST, today (Sunday 1/9/11) at:
