By Sunetra Gupta ’87

Published Jan. 21, 2016

This 30-page Kindle Single questions assumptions about disease today. Challenging the optimism that came from drug and vaccine development, Gupta questions whether a pandemic like the 1918 influenza or the Black Death is on the horizon — and if it’s avoidable. Gupta is a professor of theoretical epidemiology focusing on infectious diseases at the University of Oxford.
