From NYC to DC - Thomas Frieden

Seems like working in New York is a stepping stone to Washington these days.  First Margaret Hamburg and now Thomas Frieden - the New York Public Health Commissioner who will head up the CDC.  He had an interesting article on taxing sugared beverages which I think Bloomberg wasn't interested in running with as a policy initiative, but did praise Frieden for developing a laboratory of innovative thinking in the New York Dept of Health.  Hopefully he can do the same thing with the CDC.
