Better Off, a podcast about the biggest public health problems we face today . . .
Aaron (Ari) Bernstein: Burning fossil fuels creates air pollution. That air pollution causes a whole suite of diseases we don’t want from lung cancer, strokes, heart attacks, asthma
Anna Fisher-Pinkert: . . . and the people innovating to create public health solutions.
Ari Bernstein: So if we get off fossil fuels and make less air pollution, we’re going to address climate change, and we’re going to be more resilient to an infectious disease like coronavirus.
Anna Fisher-Pinkert: I’m your host, Anna Fisher-Pinkert.
Last spring, I found a dead possum in my backyard. I’m a city girl, and I was totally unprepared for this situation. I called a friend who helped me dispose of it. My first thought, because of the pandemic, was infectious disease. How did I know whether the possum had been sick? How did I know if it could pass that disease to me?

Bernard Lown, an eminent cardiologist who forged a dual legacy in medicine and world affairs, pioneering lifesaving treatments for heart attacks and co-founding an international group of physicians that won a Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts to end the nuclear arms race, died Feb. 16 at his home in Chestnut Hill, Mass. He was 99.
He had congestive heart failure, said a granddaughter, Ariel Lown Lewiton, adding that her grandfather oversaw his own medical treatment.
A Jewish immigrant from Lithuania, Dr. Lown came to the United States before the outbreak of World War II and taught himself English by memorizing the pages of a dictionary.
