Microbiologist Phillip Baker spent years managing the basic research program for Lyme disease at the National Institutes of Health before retiring and joining the American Lyme Disease Foundation (ALDF) in Lyme, Connecticut, as executive director. His latest crusade focuses on the 2008 documentary Under Our Skin, which presents the view that Lyme can become a chronic disease, which is at odds with mainstream medicine and treatment guidelines. Baker's been urging PBS affiliate stations not to show the movie, with mixed success-Maryland Public Television aired it 26 June.
