	Description:		As the Trump Administration calls for significant increases in military spending, it is also seeking for steep cuts to the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and programs used to address issues of global health. Michael Osterholm director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, in a recent op-ed in The New York Times argues that issues such as vaccine development, the need to combat antibiotic resistance, and respond to new infectious disease outbreaks are fundamental issues of national security. We spoke to Osterholm about global trends fueling the threat of infectious disease, the dangers of proposed budget cuts, and why the administration needs to invest in new ways to respond to the threats we face.
