Cal Poly Pomona sets mad cow symposium

Posted on August 15, 2005 by Mad Cow

POMONA - In an effort to address the frenzy over mad cow disease, Cal Poly Pomona will sponsor a two-day symposium on the subject next weekend.
The event is organized by university professor Michele Rash. Rash's grandson, a hemophiliac, received blood from a victim of the disease, which has a 25-year incubation period.

Dr. Stephen Morse, director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University, delivers the keynote address on the history of the disease's transmission.

The event Aug. 20-21 costs $250. Tickets for the keynote address and dinner are $50.
