Pandemic-Proofing the Future

October 13, 2022: SPH Pandemic Center Kick-Off event featuring a lecture by Jennifer Nuzzo SM, DrPH and Beth Cameron PhD, entitled Pandemic-Proofing the Future, followed by a Q&A session. COVID-19 has exposed an uncomfortable reality: we are living in an age of pandemic threats. Over the last century, changing environmental and social conditions have led to an increase in the frequency of outbreaks of new pathogens that may pose pandemic risks. Given the current pandemic’s profound and far-reaching health, social, economic, and political impacts, the prospect of more outbreaks and catastrophic pandemic risks in our future is bad news. But the good news is that there are steps we can take to “pandemic-proof” our society and ensure that future disease threats don’t up-end our lives. The Pandemic Center at Brown, in particular, is well positioned to conduct the research, education, outreach, and national and global initiatives that are needed to make positive changes that reduce our collective vulnerability to biological threats. This talk will discuss what is needed to pandemic-proof the future and how Brown’s new Pandemic Center at the School of Public Health will lead these efforts.
