Join award-winning science journalist Carl Zimmer in conversation with Radiolab creator Jad Abumrad for an eye-opening exploration into the invisible world we inhale. Drawing from his revelatory new book, Air-Borne: The Hidden History of the Life We Breathe, Zimmer delves into the aerobiome — the mysterious ecosystem of bacteria, fungi, and organisms that permeate the air and influence everything from our health to global weather.
Zimmer illuminates the remarkable history of airborne discoveries, from Charles Darwin’s high-flying microbes to modern aerobiology's cutting-edge research. Discover how the Covid pandemic reshaped our understanding of airborne pathogens and what steps we can take to protect ourselves against future threats.
Whether uncovering the aerobiome’s role in epidemics, ecosystems, or even biological warfare, Zimmer’s insights will dramatically change how you think about the air around you.
