Ok, so it's not exactly `Garbo Speaks', but it should be interesting nonetheless.
Earlier this summer the HHS and Secretary Michael Leavitt sponsored the Pandemic Leadership Blog, an ambitious 5-week experiment, which is archived and can be accessed here.
Apparently Secretary Leavitt found the blogging experience valuable enough, he has decided to continue . . . at least for awhile.
Secretary Leavitt's blog will, according to the first entry . . . .
Wading into Blogdom!
A couple of months ago, we had a successful experiment with our pandemic flu blog. It was done in advance of a conference on preparedness we had in Washington D.C. I found myself engaged in reading the comments and learning from them. So, I’ve decided to wade in a little deeper into blogdom by writing one for the next month or so. I’m going to see how I feel after that time period. I may continue; I may not.
The viability of my capacity to do this longer term, will be determined by time management considerations. I want to write my entries personally, rather than relying on staff. If I can do it justice we will continue; if not—we won’t. I likely won’t write everyday, but I commit to check in most days and will read as many of the comments as time allows. I have no idea how many comments there will be. I may try to reply to comments occasionally, but not always.
So a big welcome to Secretary Leavitt. I look forward to his contributions to Flublogia, and hope he finds the experience rewarding in return.
