In this class, Dr. Shapiro will discuss her memoir Doctor on Call. You’ll hear about the bureaucratic lies forced on Chernobyl first-responder physicians; the decades of discrimination as a Jewish citizen of the USSR that led Dr. Shapiro and her family to immigrate to the United States; Dr. Shapiro’s work at the US Food and Drug Administration on the Counter-Terrorism and Emergency Coordination Staff; and how, motivated by her Chernobyl experiences, Dr. Shapiro became one of the world’s leading experts in medical countermeasures development against radiation exposure.
