Rare chance to AMA Larry Altman, 1pm ET. Hard to find anyone with deeper perspective in a week with a @POTUS, the press & an exhausted public flailing amid a pandemic. He edited @CDCMMWR early days, covered presidents' health 40 years for @NYTimes -joined by two Pulitzer winners!

You really have to meet Larry Altman, who's currently a global fellow at @TheWilsonCenter but wore a fascinating hat in the CDC smallpox unit in '65 (pic via @JHSPH_CHS) and did the first presidential interview on health with Reagan for @nytimes in '80: j.mp/larryaltman 1/

Here's @deborahblum, who directs @KSJatMIT and writes spellbinding science histories: deborahblum.com 2/

And #sustainwhat veteran @Laurie_Garrett, who won her Pulitzer for gripping Ebola coverage for @Newsday and literally wrote the book on this pandemic, back in 1995 - The Coming Plague: lauriegarrett.com 3/

Back in March, @Laurie_Garrett had a warning on our @earthinstitute show for media covering the #SARSCoV2 pandemic: Gird fo ra long war, and be aware of the emotional toll on yourself, weighing each word because realtime responses could worsen outcomes.

.@Laurie_Garrett also offered vital advice for any reporter, from India to Indiana, on how to report effectively on the pandemic without getting trapped in simple call-response rebuttals with elected officials: pscp.tv/Revkin/1vAxRBb…

So join us 1pm ET (or save links for later) as we unpack this insane week and gauge what to gird for after the election and in the years of repair or turmoil to follow. Sign up at pscp.tv/revkin or watch on FB, my LinkedIn profile, or YouTube: j.mp/sustainwhatpla…
