How to prevent the next pandemic
\"The COVID-19 pandemic isn't over. But even as governments around the world try to get it under control, they're also starting to talk about what happens next. How can we prevent another pandemic from killing millions of people and devastating the global economy? Can we even hope to accomplish this? Bill Gates believes the answer is yes, and he has written a largely upbeat book that lays out clearly and convincingly what the world should learn from COVID-19, explains the science of fighting pandemics, and suggests what all of us can do to help prevent another one. Given the worldwide success of How to Avoid a Climate Disaster (which debuted at #1 on the New York Times best seller list), Gates is more respected than ever for his approach to solving the world's biggest challenges\"-- Provided by publisher.

IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS
Robinson reflects on 2024, particularly the challenges faced by the The Minerals, Metals and Materials Society (TMS) during and after the pandemic. He acknowledges the significant impact of the pandemic, including financial challenges like operating losses in 2022 and 2023 due to decreased event attendance and increased expenses, as well as operational disruptions such as difficulties with virtual meetings, inflexible hotel contracts, and staff turnover. He emphasizes the importance of transparency and open communication with members regarding the financial health and operational challenges of the Society. He reports that TMS is projected to return to a surplus in 2024, a significant achievement after the financial losses of the previous years. He expresses optimism about the future of TMS, stating that the 2025 budget is also projected to generate a surplus, indicating a return to pre-pandemic financial stability.
