Water, water everywhere. And that’s what concerns Dr. Michael
Beach, CDC’s foremost expert on waterborne illnesses. Whether
people are swimming in neighborhood pools in the U.S. or trying to
find clean drinking water in developing nations, Beach is on the
front line of defense in keeping them safe from microbial threats
that so frequently cause debilitating illness and even death.
Unlike some scientists who confine their work to the laboratory,
for Beach, the world is the laboratory. And communication and
education are key weapons in his disease-fighting arsenal.
