Preventing The Next Zoonotic Infection

On The Sound of Ideas, we're going to start by previewing a timely Science Cafe presentation, sponsored by Case Western Reserve University, happening this Monday the 14th, talking about how novel infections like the coronavirus spread from animals to humans. 

It's called "Zoonotic infections: How Can We Prepare for the Next Pandemic?"  You can log on to watch it Monday at 7 on Zoom, and you can find the link by going to the Science Cafe Cleveland Facebook Page, or by clicking on the resource below.

Joining us is the presenter for that talk Dr. Tara Smith, Professor of Epidemiology, at Kent State University. Later this hour, we'll get an update on why the cost to become a naturalized citizen is skyrocketing.  And, we'll highlight a new ideastream series called Equity in Arts.
