This episode of the podcast "Communicable" features Dr. Arturo Casadevall, a distinguished professor at Johns Hopkins University, discussing the evolving landscape of fungal pathogens. He explores the links between climate change and the rise of fungal threats, the concept of the thermal barrier hypothesis, and the potential for fungi to adapt to warmer environments and cause disease in humans. The conversation also touches upon the historical context of mass extinctions, the emergence of Candida auris, and the broader implications for human health and medicine.
