Providing accurate information to the public is more important than ever in this moment of uncertainty. Hear a panel of infectious disease experts and a journalist explain what is known\, what to watch out for\, where to find trusted resources and how to combat misinformation and confusion. \n\n\nMaryn McKenna\, independent journalist\, author; Senior Fellow of the Center for the Study of Human Health at Emory University \n\n\nSaskia Popescu\, senior infection preventionist\, ELBI Fellow and managing editor; HonorHealth\, Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security\, Pandora Report \n\n\nAngie Rasmussen\, Ph.D.\, Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health\, Associate Research Scientist \n\n\nModerator: Bara Vaida\, AHCJ core topic leader/infectious diseases \n\n\nSaskia Popescu is an experienced infectious disease epidemiologist and infection preventionist with a strong background in project management\, translation of complex issues into frontline applications\, and enhancing healthcare biopreparedness. She is passionate about healthcare biopreparedness\, antimicrobial resistance\, and driving change across sectors in global health security. \nAngie Rasmussen\, Ph.D.\, is an associate research scientist at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health. She is a virologist studying host responses to infection by combining classical virology with modern systems biology approaches. Her research objectives are to identify host response signatures predictive of infection severity or disease outcome and host pathways to target drug development or repurposing. She is particularly interested in viruses that are highly pathogenic\, newly emergent or likely to emerge because of climate change\, land development\, or ecological disruption. \nMaryn McKenna is a journalist and book author and teaches health and science writing and storytelling\, and media literacy. She has reported from epidemics and disasters\, and farms and food production sites\, on most of the world’s continents\, including a field hospital in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina\, to Midwestern farms devastated by the 2015 epidemic of avian flu. She writes for The New York Times Magazine\, The New Republic\, WIRED\, Smithsonian\, The Atlantic\, NPR\, and numerous other magazines and sites. She is the author of the 2017 bestseller Big Chicken: The Incredible Story of How Antibiotics Created Modern Agriculture and Changed the Way the World Eats (National Geographic Books\, Sept. 2017)\, which received the 2018 Science in Society Award\, making her a two-time winner of that prize. \n\nMaryn McKenna \n\n\nAngie Rasmussen \n\n\nSaskia Popescu \n\n\nBara Vaida

Join two experts from Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security – a physician\, with a specialty in emergency medicine\, critical care\, pandemic preparedness and infectious diseases and a public health expert ­– who will answer your questions about what is known about the virus\, how the health system is responding\, how the outbreak might end and strategies for journalists to combat misinformation. \nTo ensure that we address your questions\, you are invited to submit them ahead of time using this form. \n\n\nAmesh Adalja\, M.D.\, F.I.D.S.A.\, senior scholar\, Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security \n\n\nTara Kirk Sell\, Ph.D.\, M.A.\, senior scholar\, assistant professor \n\n\nModerator: Bara Vaida\, AHCJ core topic leader/infectious diseases \n\n\nAmesh Adalja (@AmeshAA) is a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security. His work is focused on emerging infectious disease\, pandemic preparedness\, and biosecurity. He has served on U.S. government panels tasked with developing guidelines for the treatment in mass casualty settings and the system of care for infectious disease emergencies. He has served as an external advisor to the New York City Health and Hospital Emergency Management Highly Infectious Disease training program\, as well as on a FEMA working group on nuclear disaster recovery.

Sell leads a number of projects focused on improving responses to emerging outbreaks. These include efforts to understand and find solutions for misinformation during highly feared infectious disease outbreaks and utilizing the wisdom of the crowd through an infectious disease prediction platform that develops forecasts about infectious disease outcomes. Sell completed her doctorate at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in the Department of Health Policy and Management\, where she was a Sommer Scholar. Her dissertation work focused on public policy responses to emerging epidemics and specifically how the media and policy intertwine in the case of Ebola and the health consequences of these policy actions. \n\nAmesh Adalja \n\n\nTara Kirk Sell \n\n\nBara Vaida
