On June 7, 2023, Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) officer Julia Petras, MSPH, BSN (EIS Class of 2021), then assigned to the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Division of High-Consequence Pathogens and Pathology, delivered a TED-style talk to congressional staff and public health partners at the CDC Public Health Academy on Capitol Hill. The event was co-hosted by the CDC Washington Office, the Coalition for Health Funding, and the Public Health Caucus. She presented findings from a multistate melioidosis outbreak investigation she led, identifying a home aromatherapy spray as the outbreak source, as well as endemic Burkholderia pseudomallei in Mississippi. Petras is pictured here with former CDC Principal Deputy Director Nirav Shah, MD, JD, and Leslie Dauphin, former Director of the National Center for State, Tribal, Local, and Territorial Public Health Infrastructure and Workforce.
