Could melting ice thaw an ancient disease?

Radio Interview with Catherine Girard (FR)

In this short interview from a popular radio program in Québec, Professor Catherine Girard responds to a thoughtful question from a teenager: could melting ice release ancient or unknown diseases? In just five minutes, she explains what scientists know about microbes trapped in ice, what happens when glaciers and permafrost thaw, and whether these changes pose real risks for human and environmental health.
