BOOK NEWS! I'm delighted to announce that Booster Shots is available for preorder and to share the cover with you! Measles, the world’s most infectious virus, evolves with us – aided by poverty, war, and neglect. Its recent resurgence spotlights our ongoing failure to protect kids from preventable harm and suggests how we can make things better in the future. I’m excited for you to read it!
