About this Episode:

Looking back and looking forward are inescapable actions even in the midst of a pandemic: What did we learn, or not, from the past and what will be different going forward? In this last episode of the series, we explore the history and the science of zoonotic pandemics and how COVID-19 could be a wake-up call for a brighter future.
