Lectures & Addresses

Henderson's Choice

Henderson became a prolific public speaker. His archives record some 900 speaking engagements between 1961 and 2016. Between 1990, when he left the deanship at the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene & Public Health, and his death, he averaged some 25 speaking engagements annually. His activity peaked between 1998 and 2003, averaging 45 annual enagements. During the first few of those years, he was raising awareness of the issue of bioterrorism and seeking funding for the new Center for Biosecurity. After the events of September 2001, he returned to the government as director and adviser of the new Office of Public Health Preparedness.

This section includes addresses that Henderson indicated in his records as significant or of special interest.
