Early detection is absolutely critical. The single biggest thing we could do to be ready for future events is to have systems in place that detect them as soon as they happen, or in some cases, perhaps anticipate that they could happen so that we can snap into action quickly and prevent the disease. — Dr. Jennifer Nuzzo
What to listen for:
From bird flu to COVID-19, the threat of diseases jumping from animals to humans, zoonotic spillover, is a significant challenge to global health. We explore how scientists, health professionals, and communities are working to detect outbreaks before they spread, and what it will take to build a world prepared for the next pandemic.
Featuring leading experts in infectious disease and health security, we dive into the systems keeping watch at the intersection of human, animal, and environmental health.
