Spillover, or zoonosis, is the infection of humans with animal viruses. In his book Spillover, David Quammen recounts the frightening phenomenon whereby EBOLA, HIV, SARS among other diseases have moved into human populations. About 60% of human diseases originated in animals. And what is the probable origin of the next pandemic ? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-herlihy/message

Originally published in 2012, science author David Quammen's book Spillover hypothesized the increasing frequency of diseases spreading from animals to humans, coupled with the speed and ease of modern world travel, could be the recipe for a global pandemic. Recorded in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic in June 2020, Quammen discusses his work and unique insights into how, where, and why diseases emerge. Recorded on June 25, 2020
In 2014, when David Quammen's book Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic, was published he did not realise that he was predicting our future. Although Quammen wasn't surprised when COVID-19 broke out, he was and has been astonished by our ill-prepared governments and has written about key aspects of the science that should inform our responses. In this podcast, hear his insights into pandemics, his far-flung adventures and his enduring passion for telling the stories of science. This podcast is hosted by Cat (Catharina) Vendl, presented by the UNSW Centre for Ideas and is supported by Inspiring Australia as a part of National Science Week.
We’re kicking off May with a super fun throwback book convo! We all chose books that we read more than one year ago, and tried to do the barest plot refresher before talking about them. We kept the books a surprise (kind of) from each other, so tune in for a very fun episode. And before we even get into that, we’re workshopping some dating app bios for each other. Not to brag, but we are really good at it. Plus! Becky makes a very special May fan club book club announcement. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!

Past pandemics have started because people trafficked, sold, ate or encroached on wild animals. In this episode we'll discuss how pandemics start with science writer David Quammen, author of the 2012 book Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic. He's accompanied international teams of disease detectives investigating how SARS1, Nipah Virus and other disease agents jumped from animals to humans and started to spread. We may never know whether the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic started with a transfer directly from a bat, went through an intermediate host, or emerged from a lab accident, but understanding how other pandemics have started could help us avoid another global disaster. “Follow the Science" is produced, written, and hosted by Faye Flam, with funding by the Society for Professional Journalists.

Kate and Daya talk with Lauren Oyler, one of the country's leading literary critics, about her first novel, Fake Accounts; which is about a central character who breaks up with her boyfriend after discovering that he's an online conspiracy theorist. She then moves to Berlin where goes on a series of dates under different personas. The conversation addresses online culture and its influence on 21st century notions of subjectivity, secrecy, romance, and literature. Also, Elizabeth Kolbert, author of Under a White Sky: The Nature of the Future, returns to recommend two books by David Quammen - the highly prescient Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Pandemic (published in 2012) and The Song of the Dodo.

09 de outubro de 2020 • Episódio #120 do podcast Economia em Tempos de Pandemia, por Monica de Bolle. Recomendações: • Tim Maia - Nobody can live forever (música) • Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic - David Quammen (livro)
In 2013, science writer David Quammen wrote an editorial in the New York Times entitled “The Next Pandemic: Not if, but When.” Quammen has been writing about the spread of diseases between humans and animals since his book "Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic" came out that same year. Quammen will be giving a lecture sponsored by Oregon State University [today/tomorrow/friday]. We'll talk to him about the ecology and evolution of the coronavirus.
Science writer David Quammen, author of Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic, talks about why political leaders ignored the science behind COVID-19, how we can talk to our kids about the virus, and what the short-term and long-term prognosis looks like. Info at DavidQuammen.com
This is the second episode in an ongoing webinar series, which is providing Resources Radio listeners the chance to listen to a podcast recording live and ask guests their own questions about pressing energy issues. In this episode, host Kristin Hayes talks with Valentina Bosetti, a Bocconi University professor and a senior scientist at the RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment, who has closely studied air quality in Northern Italy. Bosetti finds that, while air pollution decreased in the region during the pandemic lockdowns, pollution did not fall nearly as much as expected, largely because lockdown measures hardly impacted agricultural emissions. In addition, Bosetti warns that the public health benefits of improved air quality pale in comparison to the lives lost from COVID-19, and unless governments take action, pollution will surge again once economic activity returns to pre-pandemic levels.

In this Fiduciary Investors series podcast Amanda White talks to Princeton University's Professor Stephen Kotkin about the fragility of the global political economy and the potential end of globalisation. The podcast discusses the limitations of risk management systems used by many investors and the need for a new risk framework that looks beyond a linear construct to enable investors to better grasp the complexity of investing. It discusses the fragility of the environment and the economy due to: The underlying paradox of globalisation The lack of recognition of adaptive complex systems And a stagnant political organising framework. About Stephen KotkinStephen Kotkin is the John P Birkelund Professor in History and International Affairs at Princeton University.He is the co-director of the program in history and the practice of diplomacy and the director of the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies. He established the Princeton department's Global History initiative and workshop, and teaches the graduate seminar on global history since the 1950s.He also holds a joint appointment in the Woodrow Wilson School for Public and International Affairs at Princeton and is a research scholar at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.He has authored many books including his latest Stalin: Waiting for Hitler. About Amanda WhiteAmanda White is responsible for the content across all Conexus Financial's institutional media and events.

She holds a Bachelor of Economics and a Masters of Art in Journalism and has been an investment journalist for more than 25 years. She is currently a fellow in the Finance Leaders Fellowship at the Aspen Institute. The two-year program seeks to develop the next generation of responsible, community-spirited leaders in the global finance industry. Suggested reading: Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic (2012). David Quammen The Butterfly Defect: How Globalization Creates Systemic Risks, and What to Do About It (2014). Ian Goldin and Mike Mariathasan, The Rules of Contagion (2020): a mix of biology, mathematics, history, behavioural science, and anecdote, exploring how disease, ideas and behaviours move about and then cascade. Adam Kucharski. What is the Fiduciary Investors series?The COVID-19 global health and economic crisis has highlighted the need for leadership and capital to be urgently targeted towards the vulnerabilities in the global economy.Through conversations with academics and asset owners, the Fiduciary Investors Podcast Series is a forward looking examination of the changing dynamics in the global economy, what a sustainable recovery looks like and how investors are positioning their portfolios.The much-loved events, the Fiduciary Investors Symposiums, act as an advocate for fiduciary capitalism and the power of asset owners to change the nature of the investment industry, including addressing principal/agent and fee problems, stabilising financial markets, and directing capital for the betterment of society and the environment. Like the event series, the podcast series, tackles the challenges long-term investors face in an environment of disruption, and asks investors to think differently about how they make decisions and allocate capital.

Scientists have been on alert for years for the next pandemic, focusing on an animal-to-human zoonotic transmission. And now it’s here. Science writer David Quammen joins host Krys Boyd to talk about why this happens and the risks we face now and going forward. His book is “Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic.”
In this interview, science writer David Quammen, author of Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic, speaks about the root causes underlying the current pandemic and explores the ways in which viruses are embedded in the same systems of ecology and evolutionary biology that we are. As we disrupt wild ecosystems and shake these viruses free, COVID-19 offers an opportunity to reimagine our relationship with the natural world.
In this 2012 interview, David Quammen talks about his book Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic, which is highly relevant to the emergence of the coronavirus that has changed our lives.
Scientists have been warning governments of a coronavirus outbreak similar to the Wuhan virus due to human contact with wildlife. But often times, business interests win out over science. We speak with David Quammen, author of Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic” on ways to respond more quickly to a zoonotic virus outbreak and his prediction of the next epidemic.

In this dialogue with one of the best nature and science writers of our generation, David Quammen and Michael Shermer discuss his new book on the history of one of the most exciting revolutions in evolution and genetics that is unfolding before our eyes. In the mid-1970s, scientists began using DNA sequences to reexamine the history of all life. Perhaps the most startling discovery to come out of this new field—the study of life’s diversity and relatedness at the molecular level—is horizontal gene transfer (HGT), or the movement of genes across species lines. It turns out that HGT has been widespread and important. For instance, we now know that roughly eight percent of the human genome arrived not through traditional inheritance from directly ancestral forms, but sideways by viral infection—a type of HGT. In The Tangled Tree David Quammen chronicles these discoveries through the lives of the researchers who made them—such as Carl Woese, the most important little-known biologist of the twentieth century; Lynn Margulis, the notorious maverick whose wild ideas about “mosaic” creatures proved to be true; and Tsutomu Wantanabe, who discovered that the scourge of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a direct result of horizontal gene transfer, bringing the deep study of genome histories to bear on a global crisis in public health. As well, Quammen and Shermer discuss how molecular studies of evolution have brought startling recognitions about the tangled tree of life—including where we humans fit upon it. Thanks to new technologies such as CRISPR, we now have the ability to alter even our genetic composition—through sideways insertions, as nature has long been doing. They consider the ethical issues involved in bringing back extinct species, the meaning of the “self” if we are actually mosaics of different species, and the trans-humanist dream of re-engineering the human genome so our species can become post-human. David Quammen is the author of a dozen fiction and nonfiction books, including Blood Line and The Song of the Dodo. His book Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic was a finalist for seven awards and received two of them: the Science and Society Book Award, given by the National Association of Science Writers, and the Society of Biology (UK) Book Award in General Biology. A three-time National Magazine Award winner, he is a contributing writer for National Geographic and has written also for Harper’s, Outside, Esquire, The Atlantic, Powder, and Rolling Stone. He received honorary doctorates from Montana State University and Colorado College. He travels widely on assignment, usually to jungles, mountains, remote islands, and swamps.
For many, the word virus is a synonym for disease – diseases of humans, plants, and even computers. Ebola is an example: a virus with a big and terrifying reputation. And yet the vast majority of viruses are not only friendly, they are essential for life. Find out how viruses make plant life in Yellowstone's hottest environments possible, and fear your spinach salad no longer: a scientist recruits viruses to defeat E. coli bacteria. Plus, a new study presents the disconcerting facts of just how far a sneeze travels, and viruses in another kind of culture: but is ours benevolent? Find out from the man who coined the term, “viral media.” Guests: David Quammen – Science journalist, contributing writer for National Geographic Magazine, author of Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic. His Op Ed about Ebola appeared in the New York Times. Marilyn Roossinck – Professor of plant pathology and environmental microbiology, Penn State, Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics Paul Ebner – Microbiologist and an associate professor of animal sciences, Purdue University Lydia Bourouiba – Physical applied mathematician, department of civil and environmental engineering, M.I.T.

David Quammen talks about his latest book, Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic . From his Web site : "The next big and murderous human pandemic, the one that kills us in millions, will be caused by a new disease--new to humans, anyway. The bug that's responsible will be strange, unfamiliar, but it won't come from outer space. Odds are that the killer pathogen--most likely a virus--will spill over into humans from a nonhuman animal"

Science writer David Quammen explores one result of our "infernal, aboriginal connectedness" to the animal world: a lot of diseases spilling over from other species to us. Examples include SARS, HIV, avian flu, Lyme disease and Ebola. Quammen says the phenomenon is on the increase, thanks to human actions. We discussed the science behind these "zoonotic" diseases and David's globe-trotting research for his new book "Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic."
