Dr. Michael Osterholm: “The Pandemic Clock Is Ticking” | "We're not ready for the next one"

Dr. Michael Osterholm: “The Pandemic Clock Is Ticking” | "We're not ready for the next one"
Dr. Michael Osterholm — the world’s leading infectious disease expert and author of The Big One — joins Nick Standlea for a sobering but hopeful conversation about the next global pandemic.
Osterholm advised every U.S. president since Reagan and predicted the scale of the pandemic long before it unfolded. In this episode, he explains why “the pandemic clock is ticking again,” how we could prevent mass death with the right investments, and why there’s currently no one in charge of bio-preparedness at the White House.
This is not fearmongering. It’s a roadmap for resilience — and a love letter to his grandkids.
📘 About the Guest
Dr. Michael Osterholm is Director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) at the University of Minnesota, a former member of multiple presidential advisory teams, and co-author of The Big One: How We Must Prepare for Future Deadly Pandemics.
