Laurie Garrett
Senior Fellow for Global Health
Council on Foreign Relations
58 E. 68th St., New York, NY 10021
As a medical and science writer for Newsday, in New York City, Laurie Garrett became the only writer ever to have been awarded all three of the Big "Ps" of journalism: The Peabody, The Polk (twice), and The Pulitzer. Laurie is also the best-selling author of The Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases in a World Out of Balance and Betrayal of Trust: The Collapse of Global Public Health. In March 2004, Laurie took the position of Senior Fellow for Global Health at the Council on Foreign Relations. She is an expert on global health with a particular focus on newly emerging and re-emerging diseases; public health and their effects on foreign policy and national security.
Garrett has been honored with two doctorates in humane letters honoris causa, from Wesleyan Illinois University and the University of Massachusetts, Lowell.
Garrett is the author of The Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases in a World Out of Balance and Betrayal of Trust: The Collapse of Global Public Health. Until March, 2004 she was a medical and
science writer for Newsday, in New York City. She now serves as Senior Fellow for Global Health at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York.
Garrett was born in Los Angeles, a 5th generation Los Angeleno (September 8, 1951). She attended public schools in the San Marino School District, graduating in 1969 from San Marino High School. She graduated with honors in biology from the University of California in Santa Cruz (1975). She attended graduate school in the Department of Bacteriology and Immunology at UC Berkeley and did research at Stanford University in the laboratory of Dr. Leonard Herzenberg (1975-77). As a graduate student Garrett was awarded a full NIH fellowship.
During her PhD studies, Garrett started reporting on science news at KPFA, a local radio station. The hobby soon became far more interesting than graduate school and she took a leave of absence in 1977 to explore journalism. Garrett never completed her PhD.
At KPFA Garrett worked in management, in news and in radio documentary production. A documentary series she co-produced with Adi Gevins won the 1977 George Foster Peabody Award in Broadcasting, and other KPFA production efforts by Garrett won the Armstrong and CPB Awards.
After leaving KPFA, Garrett worked briefly in the California Department of Food and Agriculture assessing the human health impacts of pesticide use (1978), co-authoring a three volume environmental assessment report. She then went overseas, living and working in southern Europe and sub-Saharan Africa, freelance reporting for Pacifica Radio, Pacific News Service, BBC-Radio, Reuters, Associated Press and others (1979-80).
In 1980 Garrett joined National Public Radio, working out of the network’s San Francisco and, later, Los Angeles bureaus as a Science Correspondent. During her NPR years (1980-88) Garrett was awarded by the National Press Club (Best Consumer Journalism, 1982), the San Francisco Media Alliance (Meritorious Achievment Award in Radio, 1983), and the World Hunger Alliance (First Prize, Radio, 1987).
In 1988 Garrett left NPR to join the science writing staff of Newsday, where she remained until March, 2004.
Her Newsday reporting earned several awards, including the Newsday Publisher’s Award (Best Beat Reporter, 1990), Award of Excellence from the National Association of Black Journalists ("AIDS in Africa", 1989), Deadline Club of New York ("Best Beat Reporter", 1993), First Place from the Society of Silurians ("Breast Cancer", 1994), and the Bob Considine Award of the Overseas Press Club of America ("AIDS in India", 1995).
During the academic year 1992-93 Garrett attended Harvard University as a Visiting Fellow in the Harvard School of Public Health.
Garrett has served on the faculties of several universities, as a Visiting Professor, including:
- Designed and taught for two years a course, “Female Physiology and Gynecology” at UC Santa Curz (1972-73): Course remains in the university curriculum today.
- University of California, Berkeley School of Journalism, Fall Semester, 1997 - Columbia University, School of Journalism, David Laventhol Distinguished
Visiting Professor, Fall 2001
Over the years Garrett has contributed chapters to numerous books, including AIDS in the World, edited by Jjonathan Mann, Daniel Tarantola and Thomas Netter (Oxford university press, 1993); and Disease In Evolution: Global Changes And Emergence Of Infectious Diseases, Mary E. Wilson, edit., New York Academy of Sciences, 1994. A detailed publications list is attached.)
She has also written for many publications, including Foreign Affairs, Esquire, Vanity Fair, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, and Current Issues in Public Health. She has appeared frequently on national television programs, including "ABC Nightline", "The Jim Lerher NewsHour", "The Charlie Rose Show", "The Oprah Winfrey Show", "Dateline", "The International Hour" (CNN) and "Talkback" (CNN).
Garrett is a member of the National Association of Science Writers, and served as the organization's President during the mid-1990s. Garrett is a member of the Overseas Press Club of America, and served on the organization’s Executive Board from 2002-2006. Garrett has been a member of the judging panel for the Albert and Louise Lasker Public Service Award since 2001, ongoing.
Garrett lives in Brooklyn Heights, New York City.
