In this talk, we will reflect upon our childhood. We will try to remember what it felt like to run around and play without having to worry about anything. However, childhood memories vary for everyone, especially if you grew up in a country where infectious diseases are rampant. We will learn about the threat posed by emerging infectious diseases, factors that drive emerging infectious diseases, and the role that we all play in securing a better future and to protect the next generation of humans and animals from life threatening infections. We will go on a journey where we will reflect on choices that humans have MADE, the impact of infectious diseases such as COVID-19 on our lives, and the Dr. Banerjee is the co-lead for One Health at the University of Saskatchewan. Research within his laboratory focuses on three main themes that are inspired by the One Health ideology, (1) virus-host interactions in wildlife reservoir species, such as bats, (2) virus-host interactions in spillover species, such as humans, and (3) viral vaccine development.
He is passionate about One Health, which is a concept that embraces the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. The future of our planet and the health of our ecosystems are genuinely dependent on the actions of humankind. Dr. Banerjee’s TEDx talk will focus on what it takes to protect a planet in crisis. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
