Join Shan Liu, an emergency physician and co-author of Masked Hero: How Wu-Lien Teh Invented the Mask and Ended an Epidemic. Discover the journey of Wu Lien-teh, Shan’s great-grandfather, who played a pivotal role in ending a devastating plague in China in 1911. We’ll explore the challenges he faced as a pioneer in infectious diseases and how his legacy continues to inspire Shan’s work as a medical professional.

Shan Liu is an emergency physician and co-author of Masked Hero: How Wu-Lien Teh Invented the Mask and Ended an Epidemic.

She discusses the KevinMD article, “Dependent on the mask my great-grandfather invented.”
