Louise Stenberg, who designs health education programs for the University of Minnesota‘s School of Public Health, tells MPR’s Lorna Benson why the new online game she helped create — Epidemic! — may lure students into public-health careers:
“[An epidemic is] usually the time when public health does make the news and it’s usually the time when public health goes wrong … But it’s also the time that’s intriguing because it’s solving a mystery.”
