Voices From Within Unhappy with events at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia, senior staffer Robert Keegan has launched a Web site where employees and CDC watchers can vent. Keegan, deputy director of CDC's Global Immunization Division, says CDC Chatter (www.cdcchatter.net) is "a forum where people can talk" about issues at the agency, including a controversial reorganization begun by CDC Director Julie Gerberding 3 years ago. Keegan, 53, is one of a few staffers who have openly criticized the reorganization, which some say has driven away many top scientists and managers. Judging from entries posted since the Web log went live on 1 January, the agency hasn't turned the corner yet. Anonymous writers have commented on everything from "ongoing and endless reorganization and resultant chaos" to CDC's "totally embarrassing" response to Hurricane Katrina. A 4% cut in division budgets to pay for Gerberding's management initiative" is causing considerable anger and loss of morale," says one staffer. |
