In addition to infectious disease, she also specializes in reporting on the science of complexity and social organization. In 2010, she won the American Society for Microbiology Public Communication Award. Before becoming a journalist, she worked as a biomedical researcher.
Today we are talking to Debora about her new book “COVID-19: The Pandemic that Never Should Have Happened, and How to Stop the Next One”.
