A huge honor to be co-chairing this new @TheLancet / @PreventingPand Commission on Prevention of Viral Spillover with @rainamontana & Latiffah Hassan. Reducing risk of spillovers is critical for health equity & addressing the growing threat of pandemics.

Did you know there is a @UN High Level Summit on Pandemics happening this week in New York? We chatted with @ConservationOrg Pandemic Prevention Fellow Dr. Neil Vora (@conservationdoc) about links between deforestation and pandemics.

The search for the origin of COVID-19 has highlighted the risks of viruses transmitted by certain species of bats. @conservationdoc joins @AliRogin on @NewsHour to discuss the risks and what can be done to keep both bats and humans safe. youtube.com/watch?v=Z4BL-LyE…

We must always remember that nature is very forgiving. If we give nature a chance, it will bounce back. And when we give nature a chance, we give #HumanHealth a chance. We give peace and prosperity a chance. We give people everywhere a chance.

I've responded to horrific viruses for @CDCgov: Ebola, SARSCoV2, rabies, pox, etc. More recently, I've begun to realize the scale of the threat posed by another group of pathogens: fungi. I share thoughts on this in @nytimes/@nytopinion

Maintaining that balance — by weaning ourselves off of fossil fuels to slow climate change and halting loss of nature to prevent viral spillovers — is perhaps our best hope for avoiding a fungal horror show.
