2007 Public Lecture Series - Science at Your Service

Life, Science & Health
April 19 to May 17, 2007
7 to 8:30 p.m.

The Wadsworth Public Lecture Series
New York State Department of Health

Basic research asks questions and determines answers. Public health science identifies concerns and develops interventions. Together, they serve citizens by applying the latest scientific information to community health concerns.

Learn how public health scientists develop state-of-the-art methods to track the source of foodborne or waterborne disease outbreaks faster, detect individuals' exposure to environmental threats, such as second-hand smoke, and identify newborns with potentially life-threatening diseases. Hear how such interventions raise new research questions to take back to the laboratory.

Join scientists from the Wadsworth Center, New York State's public health laboratory and a premier biomedical research institution, as they illustrate the synergy between basic research and public health science.
