from the Skoll Foundation newsletter today:

<u>Nathan Wolfe - TED, Skoll World Forum & Rolling Stone</u> 

Nathan Wolfe, who runs the <u>Global Viral Forecasting Initiative</u> and is a recent Skoll grantee, gave a talk at TED recently which is <u>now up online.</u> It gives a great overview of Nathan's work to understand how viruses make the jump from animal to human so we can stop them before they become pandemics. Rolling Stone also <u>listed Nathan</u> in its top 100 "agents of change". Nathan participated in the Skoll World Forum on a panel, moderated by Larry Brilliant, with Paul Farmer of Partners in Health, Ban Weetjens of Apopo and Gene Falk of mothers2mothers. You can watch that on the <u>Skoll World Forum site.</u>
