Introduce our speaker Richard Preston did his undergraduate work in english and got his ph. D. In english from princeton university, studied Nineteenth Century american nonfiction writing. He is the author of nine books on a variety of topics including fixes disease. Im also sure that the hot zone inspired many of its readers to consider and pursue careers in epidemiology, vie rolling and Public Health.

And, of course hes the author of end of college, which well be talking about today. But i thought id also tell you a few things you might not know about kevin, because he contains multitudes. As a blogger, he has established a reputation over the years for finding excuse and i really mean any excuse to write about the education policy implications of shows like the wire and friday night lights. And when you read his book, youll find references to downton abbey, to game of thrones, and theres probably others that i missed.
