Preparing for the Next Pandemic

Professor Albert Ko will be our guest speaker for Cafe 126. He is an infectious diseases specialist and epidemiologist. During the pandemic, he co-chaired Governor Lamont’s Reopen Connecticut Advisory Group and continues to advise state officials on disease prevention and control strategies. His research also explores how climate change contributes to the emergence of infectious diseases in areas previously unaffected.
