Through the Noise #325

Scott Becker // Executive Director // Association of Public Health Laboratories

Want to know about SARS? How about Zika? Maybe you’re not thinking about those particular infectious diseases at the moment but the people of the public health laboratories around the United States are constantly working to keep you and you and you safe from them. And the people working diligently on these and other emerging infections are represented by the Association of Public Health Laboratories. We’ve invited Scott Becker, their Executive Director to the show to chat about their work and how they communicate what they do. Their members are on the front lines dealing with infections that we know and those that we don’t. They’ve recently launched a podcast cleverly called “Lab Culture” and are experimenting with ways to communicate with the public and their members — join us for this conversation. Know someone who should be on the show? Get in touch to recommend them and if you like the show, leave us a review on iTunes!
