In January of 2007, PHR announced the release of
its Meet the Author! Live Web cast series. The Web
cast series has featured authors who have been published in
PHR. Following each presentation, participants are
given the opportunity to ask questions. The Web cast series
provides an opportunity for authors and participants to interact
and discuss current public health issues. Future Web casts
have been scheduled for the Spring and Fall 2008 academic
semesters.
In November of 2006, PHR released Vaccination: A History of Vaccines from the 18th Century, a dual-purpose CD-ROM. The CD-ROM offers listeners a 45-minute journey through the history of vaccination in the United States, based on an audio presentation written by Dr. James Colgrove of Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health. In addition to the audio portion, the CD-ROM includes a collection of articles regarding vaccination that have appeared in Public Health Reports dating back to 1900, a selection of MMWR articles from 1982-2000, Epidemiology and Prevention of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases commonly called “The Pink Book,” five original movie clips and a timeline of important events including original photographs. |
