Hey Reddit,

Last month, I published a story for Undark Magazine (http://ift.tt/2qsrMvl) on a remarkable team of virus hunters in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The premise of the story: if scientists can detail the places where lethal viruses simmer in wait, they can head-off a swelling pandemic and better manage outbreaks while they are still small and local. But finding out where known viral threats lurk and determining which new viruses are dangerous is a task with steep odds of success.

I’ll be here from 1pm-2:30 pm EST to answer questions about the limits of life and how scientists around the world are trying to get ahead of the next pandemic. Looking forward to hearing from you!
