What if Fungi Win? A Conversation with Dr. Arturo Casadevall

Tuesday, March 4, 2025
6:00pm - 8:00pm
Kenney Link (Room 426), Johns Hopkins Bloomberg Center

From the delicious to the deadly, fungi—which share 50% of our DNA—present a wide range of benefits, and threats, to human health, many of which remain unexplored. Could fungal pathogens outsmart us before we find ways to combat them? Please join us as world-renowned infectious disease researcher and inventor Dr. Arturo Casadevall, chair of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, will take up this question and discuss his new book, What if Fungi Win? in conversation with Emily Kwong, founder and co-host of NPR science podcast Short Wave.
