Claims of brain drain follow CDC reshuffle

Article Abstract:

Advocates for public health are concerned that the field is being undermined by dissent behind the doors of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one of the world's highest-profile public-health agencies. The sour situation prevailing in the agency after its second instance of reorganization in 2004 is thought to be one of the reasons behind the dissent.

Article Abstract:

Larry Summer became the president of Harvard University in 2001, and soon after he put forward the plan to envisage the second site of Harvard into an academic hub. Harvard intents to spend billions of dollars turning Allston into a campus whose size will eventually exceed that of the university's traditional base in Cambridge, according to Summers' plan.
