From the delicious to the deadly, fungi—which share 50% of our DNA—present a wide range of benefits, and threats, to human health, many of which remain unexplored. Could fungal pathogens outsmart us before we find ways to combat them?
Arturo Casadevall, Bloomberg Distinguished Professor and Chair of Molecular Microbiology & Immunology at Johns Hopkins University, takes up this question and discusses his latest book, What If Fungi Win?, in conversation with Emily Kwong, founder and co-host of NPR's science podcast Short Wave.
What If Fungi Win? is part of the Johns Hopkins Wavelengths series published by the Johns Hopkins University Press.

This event is presented by the Sheridan Libraries & University Museums, Johns Hopkins Wavelengths, and Hopkins at Home.
