During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Parasites Without Borders’ Board of Directors have been called upon by multiple media outlets to speak as experts in the field of infectious diseases. The team of physicians and scientists have been closely covering the pandemic by scouring literature, sharing clinical experiences, and doing their part to support busy clinicians.

The team includes Daniel Griffin, MD, Ph.D., Dickson D. Despommier, Ph.D., Charles A. Knirsch, MD, MPH, Peter J. Hotez, MD, Ph.D., FAAP, FASTMH, and Vincent Racaniello, Ph.D. The team has stepped up during the pandemic to bring the latest medical and biological information to the forefront for researchers and practicing physicians; covering topics ranging from “Should you fly or drive during the pandemic?” to “Will COVID become more dangerous?”
From the early stages of the pandemic, Dr. Daniel Griffin has shared insight on COVID-19 with CNN, NBC News, CBS News, Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Rolling Stone. Dr. Peter J. Hotez has also shared helpful understanding of the virus with The New York Times, NBC News, The Texas Tribune, and Fox News.
