The Hall Center for Law and Health, the IU Center for Bioethics, the IU School of Nursing and the IU Fairbanks School of Public Health are co-sponsoring a public talk titled “Ebola: Over There… Now Over Here – An Urgent Conversation About Ethics, Law, Public Health, and Practice.”

An open discussion, allowing an exchange of perspectives, will follow the short presentations.
Panelists include Eric M. Meslin, Ph.D., director, IU Center for Bioethics and associate dean and professor of Bioethics, IU School of Medicine; and Nicholas P. Terry, Hall Render professor of law and co-director of IU McKinney’s Hall Center for Law and Health.
