A virus walks out of a factory farm...

As the world continues to take stock of the effects of COVID-19, Alex O’Connor focuses our attention on an important adjacent public health threat -- viral pathogens linked to animal factory farming. The origins of COVID-19 remain an ongoing field of study. This talk was recorded in February 2021. This talk was filmed at TEDxWarwick.
