What can individuals do to prevent the next pandemic

In this week's episode of Research Matters, Elisha Frye, D.V.M. '10, explains how Cornell's Animal Health Diagnostic Center works at the front lines of detecting and preventing diseases that can jump between animals and humans.

The conversation between Cornell Chronicle Staff Writer Laura Reiley and Frye, an associate professor of practice in the College of Veterinary Medicine, explores how veterinarians, labs and policymakers collaborate to identify emerging threats, respond quickly to outbreaks and apply the "One Health" approach to protect both public health and food systems.

It also looks at how climate change and new technologies are reshaping disease surveillance - and what individuals can do to help stop outbreaks before they start.
