I spoke about the potential for airborne transmission of hantavirus, and Josh Santarpia talked about the National Quarantine Unit. I visited it last year; it's a critical resource for the country. @virginiatech.bsky.social @pppda.bsky.social

At the 2026 PPP DA Symposium, we celebrated the opening of the PPP DA exhibit! The exhibit invites visitors to explore all four research themes and how scientists, engineers, clinicians, humanists, and communities work together to understand how viruses emerge, spread, and can ultimately be stopped.
