Francois Nosten on Fever Pitch podcast, on a collapsing border where medicine meets war

Professor Francois Nosten, Director of MORU's Shoklo Malaria Research Unit (SMRU), reflects on the decades he’s spent on the border between Thailand and Myanmar, a place of relentless upheaval and quiet endurance.
