Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 76 - Aleksandra Kaźmierczak & Celine Gossner - Not Just A Hotter Summer - Climate Change and Health
Q: What practical actions can individuals take, Celine?
Individuals can protect themselves from bites, practice food and water safety during hot weather, follow travel health recommendations, and support broader climate adaptation efforts by voting and engaging in policy.
Episode 76 - Aleksandra Kaźmierczak & Celine Gossner - Not Just A Hotter Summer - Climate Change and Health
Q: Celine, is there a need to be concerned or to be better prepared for an increase in infectious diseases in Europe because of climate change?
Yes, preparedness is essential because warmer temperatures and more extreme weather change the transmission dynamics of diseases, especially vector-borne and climate-sensitive infections, making surveillance and rapid response more important than ever.
Episode 76 - Aleksandra Kaźmierczak & Celine Gossner - Not Just A Hotter Summer - Climate Change and Health
Q: Can you please tell us a little bit how climate change is impacting health in Europe today?
Climate change directly increases health risks through heat, floods, and air pollution, and indirectly through the modulation of ecosystems that affect vector-borne and water- and food-borne diseases; thus, the health impact is already observable and growing.
Episode 75 - Angeliki Melidou & Katriina Willgert - Could Bird Flu Become The Next Pandemic?
Q: Why do you think there is such a public health concern right at this moment?
There is concern because past pandemics have involved animal-origin influenza, and the virus could reassort or adapt to enable human-to-human transmission; ongoing circulation in animals increases the risk that such adaptation could occur, making it essential to have preparedness and monitoring in place.
Episode 68 - Rita Figueira & Andreas Hoefer - A Network of Laboratory Excellence
Q: How do eURLs fit into Europe's public health strategy?
They are a central part of the public health infrastructure, ensuring standardized laboratory data, guiding outbreak responses, and strengthening cross-border collaboration to enable rapid, coordinated action.
