## Bio

Anthony Fauci graduated from Holy Cross with a classics degree before earning his MD from Cornell, then joined the National Institutes of Health as a physician-scientist. He became director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in 1984 and held the post for thirty-eight years, advising every president from Reagan forward while building a research career that made him one of the world's most-cited scientists between 1983 and 2002. His work on HIV/AIDS and immunodeficiency earned him the Presidential Medal of Freedom from George W. Bush in 2008 for his role in the AIDS relief program PEPFAR. When COVID-19 arrived, he joined the White House Coronavirus Task Force under Trump, where his guidance was frequently contradicted and his motives questioned by the president's supporters, then continued as Biden's Chief Medical Advisor and a lead on the COVID-19 Response Team until stepping down in 2022.
