Twenty-five years ago this month Dr. James W (Jim) Curran – Emeritus Dean of the Rollins School of Public Health and founding PI of the Emory Center for AIDS Research – green lighted, and funded!, the formation of the Vaccine Dinner Club. The rest, as they say, is history.
Before that signal event though, while he was still at the CDC, Dr. Curran led the initial investigation of the disease later known as AIDS. You may be familiar with the Hollywood story of that investigation, and what came after it, from the book / movie “And the Band Played On.”
It was a good book and an engaging movie but those of us who lived those events in real time have spent the ensuing decades asking Dr. Curran and the other front-line insiders to write a book that tells the story from THEIR perspective. And they finally have. Yay!
So please authors Kevin M. DeCock, Harold W. Jaffe, and Jim Curran for a discussion and book signing of “Dispatches from the AIDS Pandemic: A Public Health Story,” — their unique firsthand account of the CDC’s early response to AIDS.
Drawing in part on interviews from the CDC’s AIDS oral history project, the book traces the evolution of AIDS from newly recognized disease to pandemic.
Tuesday, September 25
4pm: Discussion and Q&A
5pm: Book Signing
Margaret H. Rollins Room – Randall R Rollins Building

Hosted by the Gangarosa Department of Environmental Health and Environmental Sciences PhD program.
Applying to graduate school can be equal parts exciting and stressful. Our goal with a PhD application bootcamp is to take some of the mystery and anxiety out of the process, so that students can focus on developing their strongest graduate application.
The PhD Application Bootcamp is designed to help students complete each part of the application process, starting with deciding which PhD program is right for them, assisting with development of their personal statement and resume, as well as fine-tuning their interview skills. Students will also explore the expectations of a PhD and consider the diversity of career options for PhD graduates.
Session I: Is a PhD right for me? When: September 20; 6:00p Where: Virtual (Zoom)
Session II: Navigating a PhD When: October 12; 6:00p Where: Virtual (Zoom)

Presented by HMHBGA and Georgia Watch
Georgia Watch and HMHBGA are partnering to provide this all day workshop to students with an academic focus on maternal and child health in Georgia. We hope to empower students to be more engaged with policy solutions to solve the ongoing maternal mortality crisis in the state. We aim to bring students from different backgrounds together with community organizations and policy experts to address maternal and child health disparities.
This event is informed by Georgia Watch’s Civic Advocacy Training and HMHBGA Maternal and Infant health expertise. We are thrilled to partner with Morehouse School of Medicine – Center for Maternal Health Equity and Emory Rollins School of Public Health – Maternal and Child Health Center of Excellence to bring this to students in our state.
