The Grand Cinema & The Tacoma Pierce County Health Department present an
evening of “Science on Screen”
The Grand Cinema and The Tacoma Pierce County Health Department are proud
to share that they will be collaborating for an evening of “Science on
Screen http://www.grandcinema.com/movie.php?id=865” on June 27th.
Emerging Diseases expert Dr. James Bales and disease outbreak control
public health leader Nigel Turner will give a presentation about
researching and planning for dangerous viral outbreaks which will be
followed by a screening of the 1995 cult classic film “12
Monkeyshttp://www.grandcinema.com/movie.php?id=865
.”
‘Science on Screen http://www.coolidge.org/programs/science-on-screen,’
originally started by Coolidge Corner Theater in Boston, is a program that
creatively pairs films with lively introduction lessons by notable figures
from the world of science, technology, and medicine. The Grand Cinema
received a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the Coolidge
Corner Theatre Foundation to bring Science on Screen to Tacoma and Pierce
County for the first time ever!
“As soon as we received the green light to bring this event to town we
thought of the Health Department,” explains Grand Cinema Executive Director
Philip Cowan. “We had a great time bouncing ideas around with them and
choosing a topic and film we’re both very excited about.”
"At the Health Department, we work to detect, investigate, control and
respond to disease outbreaks, so we're constantly thinking about new and
emerging diseases," said Nigel Turner, director, Communicable Disease
Control, Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department. "It's fascinating to
explore how some diseases become large public health issues, and others do
now. It's exciting to have the opportunity to talk about this work as it
relates to the film, 12 Monkeys."
