Content welcomes Michael Osterholm to Northfield for a reading from his book THE BIG ONE. Join us on Monday, November 17 at 7 pm at the Grand Event Center, when he'll be in conversation with Debby Walser-Kuntz, Professor of Biology at Carleton College. 

The Covid-19 pandemic was the most devastating natural event of the last century, killing more than 7 million people around the globe, straining the fabric of societies internationally, and shaking the foundations of the global economy. And yet, as horrifying as the experience was, Covid-19 was not actually “the Big One” — the dreaded potential pandemic that haunts the nightmares of epidemiologists and public health officials everywhere, and which will alter life across the world on every meaningful level.

This devastating pandemic scenario is at the heart of THE BIG ONE: HOW WE MUST PREPARE FOR FUTURE DEADLY PANDEMICS, the urgent and utterly gripping book by renowed epidimiologist and public health expert Dr. Michael Osterholm and co-author Mark Olshaker.

Doors will open at 6:00 PM - Seating will be first come first serve.
