politicnewsbusterinsiderpostreview: Join me for this special Mother Jones event.

MoJo Reader,

Kiera Butler here, senior editor at Mother Jones. I lead our coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic, and I'm hosting the next event of our In Conversation series. You won't want to miss it.

I'll be sitting down with Dr. Peter J. Hotez, vaccinologist and author of the new book Preventing the Next Pandemic.

I hope you'll join us for this insightful and reflective—and free!—conversation next Wednesday, March 24, at 11 a.m. PT / 2 p.m. ET.

Register today and we'll send you the link and a reminder to tune in.

It's been more than a year since the COVID-19 pandemic transformed our lives and began to highlight what is broken in our health care system. And we're still learning how we can be more prepared for future outbreaks.

As we enter this new era of the pandemic and wait for the vaccine's wider distribution, join Dr. Hotez and me as we discuss the lessons of COVID-19, how to increase vaccine acceptance in a time of rampant anti-science rhetoric, and how to prepare for pandemics by looking beyond our borders.

Thanks for everything you do to help make Mother Jones what it is.
