SUMMARY:Guest author Diane Shader Smith joins us for "Voices from the Frontlines: A Powerful Weapon Against AMR"
DESCRIPTION:About the Event \n\nIn a world where antimicrobial resistance 
 (AMR) threatens the foundation of modern medicine\, the power of 
 storytelling emerges as an unexpected yet potent weapon. \n\n\n	What is the 
 impact of personal narrative in the fight against AMR?\n	Who are the voices 
 from the frontlines? Including patients\, their family and friends\, 
 healthcare professionals\, biotech innovators\, and advocates. \n\n\nFor 
 six years following the death of her daughter Mallory Smith\, 
 author/activist Diane Shader Smith has traveled the world telling 
 Mallory’s story\, in her own words. Discover how one young woman’s 
 story\, captured in her memoir\, Diary of a Dying Girl\, has resonated and 
 inspired the Global AMR Diary and a collective call to action. \n\nJoin us 
 as we explore the intersection of medicine and media\, where compelling 
 stories become catalysts for change\, influencing policy\, raising 
 awareness\, and inspiring a united front against one of the most pressing 
 health crises of our time. \n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nDiane Shader Smith has 
 enjoyed a dynamic career as a writer\, speaker\, publicist\, and dedicated 
 fundraiser\, handling a diverse portfolio of clients. After the tragic loss 
 of her daughter Mallory at the age of 25\, Diane posthumously published 
 Mallory’s memoir\, Salt in My Soul (Random House\, 2019)\, which 
 significantly impacted readers and inspired a documentary of the same name 
 by 3Arts Entertainment. More recently\, Diane adapted Mallory’s memoir 
 for a younger audience under the title\, Diary of a Dying Girl\, (Random 
 House 2024)\, and conceived of the idea to launch The Global AMR Diary\, 
 which she did in collaboration with major health organizations like the 
 World Health Organization\, the Centers for Disease Control and 
 Prevention\, and the Partnership to Fight Infectious Diseases among others. 
 This initiative harnesses the power of storytelling to combat the global 
 health crisis of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).\n\nDiane has given over 
 250 talks at prestigious venues worldwide\, including The White House\, 
 Capitol Hill\, NATO\, the New York City Public Library\, and Harvard 
 Medical School. She has written op-eds for USA Today\, STAT News\, and The 
 Hill\, and she has contributed blogs for the CDC and Random House. Diane 
 has been interviewed by many major media outlets like The New York Times\, 
 The Los Angeles Times\, FORBES\, and The Today Show among others. She holds 
 an English degree from UCLA and a certificate in Narrative Medicine from 
 Columbia University.
