Scientific Errors and Controversies in the U.S. HIV/AIDS Epidemic: How They Slowed Advances and Were Resolved Tapa dura - 2007 - 1st Edición

Scott D. Holmberg, M.D., joined the Centers for Disease Control in 1982. As a Peace Corps Volunteer working in smallpox eradication in Ethiopia, he had become dedicated to a professional life of investigating and controlling epidemics. He then returned to the United States, and, after premedical courses, medical school, and residency, joined the CDC. The history of scientific errors and controversies in this book is based on his experience as Chief of Epidemiology for the CDC's Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention from 1986 to 2005. Holmberg has authored or co-authored more than 150 scientific articles about HIV/AIDS, and has received many awards from the CDC, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the U.S. Public Health Service, in which he served as a Commissioned Officer. He is a graduate of Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and Emory University.
