Havana Syndrome refers to a series of unexplained health incidents experienced by U.S. and Canadian diplomats, intelligence officers, and their families, initially reported in Havana, Cuba, in late 2016.  The cause of these incidents remains unclear, with speculation ranging from directed-energy attacks to environmental factors or psychological triggers. In April 2024, 60 Minutes aired a segment on Havana Syndrome, and the Wall Street Journal followed this with two articles.  These in turn led to a flurry of comments and speculations from journalists, podcaster, and other media. This month’s webinar will feature members of the IEEE International Committee on Electromagnetic Safety and the IEEE Committee on Man and Radiation, discussing the engineering basis for getting to the bottom of this ongoing mystery. 

Hosted by IEEE Future Networks INGR Deployment Chair David Witkowski.  Guests will be industry consultants Dr. Jerrold Bushberg and Kenneth Foster.
