Description

Preventing the next deadly pandemic, because it’s only a matter of time.  Senior Science magazine correspondent Jon Cohen has travelled Vietnam and the Amazon rainforest to learn what scientists are doing to keep the most dangerous pathogens at bay, and why we need to avoid what he calls cycles of panic and neglect — a rush of  resources and interest when a virus bursts on the scene followed by inattention. Cohen’s new book is “Planning Miracles.”




Guests:


Jon Cohen, senior correspondent, Science magazine; author, “Planning Miracles: How to Prevent Future Pandemics"
