Annie Jacobsen Discusses Biological Threats on PBS News Podcast
09/23/2026 · North Carolina edition
Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Annie Jacobsen discussed the potential for deliberately engineered pathogens as a national security threat on the PBS News podcast, "Settle In." Geoff Bennett, the podcast host, interviewed Jacobsen about the themes presented in her new book, "Biological War: A Scenario."
Jacobsen's book examines a scenario where a national security threat does not originate from a missile or a bomb but from a specifically designed pathogen. During her conversation with Bennett, Jacobsen addressed America's readiness to respond to such biological dangers.
