    Join our distinguished panel as they reflect on the early days of another pandemic: the HIV/AIDS crisis in the 1980s. They will reflect on their experiences as caregivers, activists/advocates, and authors when this disease first appeared as a medical mystery and discuss how its course sparked social, political, and cultural change.

    Panelists: Rebecca Makkai, MA, author of The Great Believers; MK Czerwiec, RN, MA, author of Taking Turns: Stories from HIV/AIDS Care Unit 371; and Paul O'Keefe, MD, infectious diseases specialist and HIV/AIDS researcher.
