This DBB (Tu, 8/31, 2P) — Maryn McKenna (“SuperBug”) — Science Journalism & New Media

Our guest at this week's Digital Brown Bag (Tu, 8/31, 2P, Room 117, Visual Art) is Maryn McKenna.  Ms. McKenna is a science journalist who has mastered social media to both produce and market her writings.  Her latest book, "Superbug: The Fatal Menace of MRSA" (http://www.superbugthebook.com/) details "a global epidemic hiding in plain sight" that kills thousands of people each year.  It is a scary story.  Also, she will be telling us what she learned about the potential and the limits of what we can do with new media.  And she promises to weigh in on the future of journalism.  Join us.
