Skoll World Forum: Elevating Art to Advance Science: A New View of Vaccination in 2015
Christopher J. Elias, president of global development at the Gates Foundation, discusses the “The Art of Saving a Life” project, for which the foundation “asked musicians, writers, filmmakers, painters, sculptors, and photographers to share stories of immunization’s impact, both on the course of history and in the lives of those vaccinated.” Elias notes, “The timing of The Art of Saving a Life coincides with a high-level event hosted [on January 27] by the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, in Berlin to mobilize funds for immunization programs through 2020” (1/9).
