Bat Research and SARS-CoV2 - Livestream

Dave Johnston will discuss zoonotic diseases and the relationship between bats and coronaviruses, the race to discover the true origin of SARS-CoV2, how viruses quickly evolve while jumping from one animal group to another, why scientists do not believe that SARS-CoV2 came directly from a bat, and why bat researchers around the world are told not to handle bats during the pandemic. Dave will conclude with a summary of how he is moving forward with his bat projects during these challenging times.
