Although Crof mentioned them both overnight, Mike Osterholm (Director of CIDRAP) and author David Quammen (see EID Book Review - Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic) have each penned an op-ed piece for the International edition of the New York Times, and both deserve a second mention here.
