Pathogen Hunter

Pathogen Hunter project explores how disease monitoring might change our health etiquette. Surveillance personnel - Pathogen Hunters - would be specially trained with very particular tools to manage infectious outbreaks. But no matter how clean we are or how healthy we feel, we still carry billions of microbes on our bodies.
Will we change our behaviour by preventing the spread of pathogens to others? What will be the consequences for our social conventions?
