2021 Ken Shine Prize Lecture: A Conversation with Anthony S. Fauci, MD
Thursday, Jan 14
8:00 to 8:45 am

Please RSVP ahead of time to receive a Zoom link

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our lives in countless ways that we’re just beginning to realize. Few people have the combination of experience, access, and insight to understand that better than this year’s Ken Shine Prize in Health Leadership honoree: Anthony S. Fauci, MD . Awarded to leaders who make significant advancements in health, Dell Med’s annual Ken Shine Prize brings us closer to visionaries in health, and that’s particularly true this year.

Please join us for a conversation with Dr. Fauci and Dean Clay Johnston as they discuss what comes after the COVID-19 pandemic: What have we learned? How can we sustain motivation for preparedness in non-pandemic times? How can we restore the public’s faith in science and protect our scientific branches of government from politicization? And much more.
