Sobre el Autor

Sobre el autor de La flecha de Apolo

Nicholas A. Christakis, médico, científico social y autor de éxitos de ventas del New York Times por su obra Apollo’s Arrow: The Profound and Enduring Impact of Coronavirus on the Way We Live, aporta décadas de experiencia en ciencia de redes y epidemiología a este análisis de los efectos sociales del COVID-19.

Como Profesor Sterling en la Universidad de Yale, con nombramientos conjuntos en sociología, medicina y ciencia de datos, Christakis se basa en sus roles de liderazgo en el Instituto de Yale para la Ciencia de Redes y en su investigación pionera sobre cómo las fuerzas biológicas y sociales moldean el comportamiento humano. Sus obras anteriores —incluyendo Connected: The Surprising Power of Our Social Networks y Blueprint: The Evolutionary Origins of a Good Society— establecieron su reputación por combinar la ciencia rigurosa con una narrativa accesible sobre las experiencias humanas colectivas.

Apollo’s Arrow refleja la perspectiva única de Christakis como médico formado en la Facultad de Medicina de Harvard y como investigador cuyo trabajo sobre pandemias ha sido citado en más de 1.000 estudios académicos. El libro fue preseleccionado para el premio PEN America E.O. Wilson de escritura científica literaria y se nutrió de sus funciones de asesoramiento en organizaciones como la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Su reconocimiento en 2009 como una de las 100 personas más influyentes de la revista Time subraya su autoridad al conectar los conocimientos científicos con los desafíos globales.
