The fourth comic in the ‘Uncertain Worlds’ series from the IDS @PASTRES_erc programme looks at the lessons from recent disease outbreaks & how thinking differently about uncertainties could point to alternative ways to respond to #pandemics. @IanScoones pastres.org/2023/09/29/uncer…
Uncertain Worlds #4 – Pandemics
