“Breathless:” A Q&A with science writer David Quammen
Join us for a discussion with veteran science journalist David Quammen whose most recent book, “Breathless: The Scientific Race to Defeat a Deadly Virus,” details the story of how virologists and other scientists have worked to unravel the mysteries of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Quammen will also talk about what he learned about the various origin theories and what lessons can be applied to the next, likely pandemic.
The New York Times describes the book as a “luminous, passionate account of the defining crisis of our time — and the unprecedented international response to it.” Bring your questions about craft, grasping difficult science and spotting the next pandemic for this 45-minute Q&A.
