Coming up on Connections: Friday, December 1

First hour: Author David Osborne on "Reinventing America's Schools"

Second hour: How can we end the AIDS epidemic?

In his book, Reinventing America’s Schools, author David Osborne argues that we should treat every public school like a charter school. He suggests an emphasis on autonomy, accountability of performance, diversity in school design, and parental choice. Osborne is in Rochester to meet with school leaders to discuss his ideas for the future of education, but first, he joins us Connections.

Then in our second hour, about 150,000 people in our country are infected with the HIV virus – but don’t know it. We’ll discuss new research and treatment in the fight against the AIDS epidemic. Our guests:

  • Stephen Dewhurst, Ph.D., vice dean for research at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, and associate vice president for health sciences research at the University of Rochester
  • Dr. Bill Valenti, M.D., co-founder and staff physician for Trillium Health
  • Jasan Ward, member of the NYS “HIV Stops with Me” campaign
