Eli Cahan, a pediatrician and journalist, will visit Forsyth Tech Community College on November 6, 2024. He will speak in classes, meet with students, and present his Pulitzer Center-supported work.

In his reporting project, Could a Conflict-Borne Superbug Bring On Our Next Pandemic?, Cahan explores how “superbugs,” or antimicrobial resistance bacteria (AMRs), germinate on the frontlines of modern wars, and why they pose existential health risks.

Cahan’s work has been featured in The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Rolling Stone, and USA Today, among other publications. He has won awards from the National Press Club, the News Leaders Association, and elsewhere. He is also a pediatrician at Boston Children’s Hospital, Boston Medical Center, and Harvard Medical School.
