North Carolina Salt in My Soul & AMR Panel Event
Salt in My Soul is the story of Mallory Smith, a writer and environmental journalist who lived with cystic fibrosis for 25 years and ultimately lost her life after a 10-year battle against antibiotic resistant infections.
On August 4th, the Partnership to Fight Infectious Disease hosted a lunch and discussion to learn more about Mallory’s journey and the policy opportunities to advance solutions that can help others facing similar and urgently mounting challenges of antimicrobial resistance.
Event Agenda:
Welcome from IQVIA
Diane Shader Smith, Mother of Mallory Smith, Author & Cystic Fibrosis Advocate on the Role of Storytelling in Political Advocacy
Guided Discussion led by PFID’s Candace DeMatteis and including perspectives from:
Kevin Outterson, Professor, Boston University
Diane Shader Smith
Tori Kinamon, Patient & Student, Duke University Medical School
Nicole Khor, Cystic Fibrosis Patient & Advocate
Joe Larsen, Vice President, Clinical Development, Locus Biosciences
Dr. Felicia Ruffin, Duke University Medical System
Hearing how Mallory’s story shaped political advocacy reminds me that personal narratives can cut through policy noise. But with antimicrobial resistance growing so fast, I wonder if storytelling alone can push the bomber game of legislation toward real action.
This game is such a great way to pass the time! Dinosaur Game starts slowly enough for anyone to understand, but it quickly becomes a serious reaction challenge. Reaching a new personal best always feels like a small achievement.
I sometimes recommend Lifehata to people who enjoy reading about relationships, everyday life, and general practical topics. The website is easy to browse and covers several areas.
