Today we are joined by infectious disease epidemiologist Dr. Kacey Ernst. In this conversation we cover the spread, prevention, and treatment of infectious diseases like COVID 19. Dr. Ernst is an associate professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of Arizona. Her primary projects examine how ecological and social changes impact the transmission of infectious diseases like dengue, malaria, and now COVID-19.
