The science behind the Swine Flu outbreak – Ask the experts

Professor Luke O’Neill, Professor Kingston Mills and other experts will be available for a briefing on the current Swine Flu epidemic outbreak.

Ask the experts about Swine Flu- should the Garda have a role ?

Some of the questions that will be considered include: What is the state of readiness in Ireland? Why is this flu-strain affecting young, healthy people?What precautions can be taken to limit the outbreaks of pandemics? Should the Gardaí have a role in combating swine flu?

There will be ongoing live updates regarding the spread of the pandemic (including a projection of a Google mash-up map tracking the news about the outbreak), digital simulations and information sheets will be available at the Science Gallery as part of the INFECTIOUS exhibition which explores mechanisms of transmission of infectious diseases.
