Like many of us, Dr. Peter Hotez is spending a lot of time at home these days, staying in with his wife, adult daughter and cat in an attempt to avoid exposure to the novel coronavirus. But Hotez, professor and co-director of the Center for Vaccine Development at Texas Children’s Hospital and dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine is also working flat out on two important fronts: developing vaccines for use against the new virus and speaking out in the media; he and his research have been referenced or quoted in more than 9,800 articles so far about the scientific and public health responses.
