UNDERSTANDING GLOBAL VIRUSES
New York Times’ Donald G. McNeil, Jr. Teaches New Online Course
Intelligent readers know that not every virus scare pumped up in the media merits alarm. Which ones do? What have we learned about fighting AIDS? Bird flu? Swine flu? SARS? How can that learning help us prevent other epidemics?
For those interested in discovering answers to these questions and delving into these epidemics, The New York Times presents “Understanding Global Viruses,” an interactive four-week course led by Donald G. McNeil, Jr., public health reporter at the Times.
In addition to daily self-paced lessons and online discussion forums and resources, the course includes a weekly live online session with McNeil.
“Understanding Global Viruses” will run from March 15 – April 11, 2011. To register for this new online course or for more information, please visit:
