PBS NewsHour Extra has been knocking it out of the park with incredible guests! This week, educator and host Sari Beth Rosenberg welcomes Dr. Peter Hotez MD, Ph.D. to her show. This must-see, must-participate event is Wednesday evening, March 3rd at 8:00 pm ET.
Dr. Hotez is a leading scientist in the quest to educate the public about COVID. He is a virologist, trained pediatrician, professor at Baylor Medical School in Houston, TX. A snippet of his extensive bio is at the end of the post. Dr. Hotez has been a voice of reason, translating the COVID research for the masses through his many television, print media, podcasts, and journal publications. He was the canary in the coal mine warning the nation when few were listening, especially the former administration that we were facing a national emergency.
Dr. Hotez speaks truth to power, every single day. How fortunate that he is making himself available to answer educators, school staff, and school nurses’ questions this week on PBS NewsHour Extra!
