In 2007, as the world worried about a possible avian flu epidemic, Laurie Garrett, author of "The Coming Plague," gave this powerful talk to a small TED University audience. Her insights from past pandemics are suddenly more relevant than ever.

(This is a very informative and candid lecture on what we all may be facing in the next few months...)

2. Laurie Garrett is what I wished ALL science writers were like.

Her almost-PhD means, when it comes to germs, she doesn't write utter nonsense, as happens too often with others.
