Health Storytelling: Carl Zimmer and "Air-borne"
Presented by Emory University - Center for the Study of Human Health, Georgia Center for the Book
Every day we draw in 2,000 gallons of air — and thousands of living things. The air teems with invisible life, yet this last biological frontier remains so mysterious that it took over 2 years for scientists to agree that the Covid pandemic was caused by an airborne virus. In conversation with author and journalist Maryn McKenna, New York Times columnist Carl Zimmer will lead us through the living atmosphere, weaving together gripping history and new threats to global health.
