The Viruses Walking Among Us: Re-Emergence of Measles & Return of Polio?

What’s lurking inside in the environment, inside of us, and what’s waiting to emerge? Virologist Dr. Christopher Stobart joins the Public Health Insight Podcast to explore the vast universe of viruses—how they infect, adapt, and sometimes leap from animals to humans. We break down the science behind how they spread, the resurgence of diseases like measles, and what could be the next big threat.References for Our Discussion◼️ How the anti-vaccine movement weaponized a 6-year-old's measles death◼️ Butler University Public Health Faculty & Staff◼️ Rate My Professor: Dr. StobartGuest◼️Dr. Christopher Stobart, Associate Professor of Biology at Butler UniversityHost(s) & Producer(s)◼️ Gordon Thane, BMSc, MPH, PMP®Production Notes◼️ Music from Johnny Harris x Tom Fox: The Music RoomSubscribe to the NewsletterSubscribe to The Insight newsletter so you don’t miss out on the latest podcast episodes, live events, job skills, learning opportunities, and other engaging professional development content here.Leave Us Some FeedbackIf you enjoy our podcasts, be sure to subscribe and leave us a rating on Apple Podcast or Spotify, and spread the word to your friends to help us get discovered by more people.
