STICKING WITH CDC. Efforts to prepare the U.S. and the world for a flu pandemic have won Nancy Cox, a top flu expert at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, the title of "Federal Employee of the Year." The award is issued every year by the Partnership for Public Service, a nonprofit.

Cox, 58, joined CDC in 1975 and has been at the helm of its influenza program since 1992. Although CDC has suffered an exodus of veteran scientists recently in the wake of a reorganization, Cox says it's a good place to work: "As a child, I never dreamed I'd have the opportunities I've had while working at CDC."
