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. unep.org/news-and-stories/sp…

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 nytimes.com/2023/04/02/opini… 1/

Opinion | ‘The Last of Us’ Is Right. Our Warming Planet Is a Petri Dish. (Published 2023)

Fungi are a public health blind spot.

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. 6/
