Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha on Politics, Lead, and the Flint Water Crisis

Mike talks to Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, director of the pediatrics residency at the Hurley Medical Center in Flint, Michigan, and an assistant professor at Michigan State University's College of Human Medicine, where she heads the Hurley Children’s Hospital Public Health Initiative. It was through Dr, Mona’s courageous and unflagging efforts that the public learned about the dangerous levels of lead in Flint's drinking water. Her work has been recognized by numerous environmental groups, including the Michigan Environmental Council, the Children's Environmental Health Network, and the Union of Concerned Sciences.  She's the author of a recently released book on the Flint crisis, titled What The Eyes Don't See: A Story of Crisis, Resistance, and Hope in an American City.
