Imagine a world where pandemics are not just a distant memory but a recurring reality. Drs. Heather Bell and Kurt DeVine invite Dr. Phil Peterson from the University of Minnesota Medical School to shed light on how pandemics emerge and the crucial role of government in managing them.

Bell and DeVine, with their knack for making complex topics accessible, ensure that listeners walk away with a better understanding of how pandemics start and what can be done to mitigate their impact.
