Virginia Schutte recently received her PhD in Marine Ecology from the University of Georgia. She is also my daughter. As Dr. Schutte says, “I am an ecologist for selfish reasons. I want to protect the systems that protect us.” We talk about ecology and health, and health issues for travelers to Central America.

Tip: Chikungunya virus will force us to make changes. Half a million cases are reported in the Caribbean, and the virus has now made it to Florida. We expect it to spread through the deep South in the next few years. Learn to prevent mosquito bites.
