MORE ABOUT THE EVENT:
Dr. Peter Hotez visited Tunisia in 2015 in his capacity as a U.S. Science Envoy, a program sponsored by the U.S. Department of State.

🔹We expect this to be a fairly high-level scientific discussion. Medical professionals, researchers, and students with an interest in medicine and public health are highly encouraged to join!
