VOYAGER LECTURE SERIES: Valley Fever and Our Rapidly Changing Environment
With Dr. Katharine S. Walter and Dr. Ginamarie Foglia

Tuesday, May 20, 7:30pm
Social Hour begins at 6:30pm

This year’s Voyager Lecture Series follows “The History of This Land,” from the deep time studied in geology, through modern concerns related to our changing environment.

Our final lecture of this series comes from Dr. Katharine S. Walter, an infectious disease epidemiologist based in Salt Lake City. Landscape development and climate change are elevating the risk of a new fungal infection in Southern Utah: Valley Fever. Join Dr. Walter, along with Dr. Ginamarie Foglia, as they discuss dangerous emerging fungal pathogens, Valley Fever, and the implications of very local projects including the proposed Dry Wash reservoir.
