About

This one-hour video is about the 1918 flu pandemic, which killed over 50 million people worldwide. It describes how scientists study this deadly virus to learn why it was so harmful and how new flu viruses might emerge. The lecture also talks about efforts to create better flu vaccines. The event honors Dr. John R. LaMontagne for his work in fighting infectious diseases at the NIH, where he served as deputy director until his death in 2004.
