"Infectious disease magic is a really good thing to prioritize!"

"Yeah, I want enough range on it that it'd be possible to area-eradicate and just move around a lot and repeat the process."

"-wow, that sounds great. Do you have estimates of how many people you could heal per year that way?"

"It'd depend too much on how densely populated they are and the gnarly tropical diseases are in low density areas."

"Does that end up being more effective than aiming at poor cities?"

"If you're aiming to eradicate something, yes, because the things that show up in cities aren't usually rare enough to straightforwardly eradicate, but stuff that's geographically concentrated is."

"Oh, you want specifically to eradicate diseases and not just heal a bunch of people?"

"It's a little more satisfying, you know? Smallpox was."

"You have very good goals!"

(He is a tiny bit sad about the concept of eradicating any species entirely, but still, it's clearly worth it.)

"Thank you!"

"When did you decide that this was what you wanted to do?"

"I've always wanted to be a witch since I was a little girl. It did take me a little longer to settle specifically on epidemiology."

"I still havn't figured out what I want to do when I graduate."

"Planning to wait for a career fair to make a case, or stay in academia indefinitely, or...?"

"Well, I was hoping taking a bunch of classes would help me better understand the options, but I think I have overdone it."

"Maybe."

Why did the girl who was mind controlled about him have to be pretty.

"I think I want to do something more... systemic than your plan, if that makes sense. But your plan does seem really good."

"I do sort of imagine I will need some kind of institutional backing to bop around a few continents annihilating malaria."

"Just for transportation and identifying locations and such?"

"And maybe a security escort, there's like geopolitical instability in some relevant locations."

"Huh, that does seem like a worthwile niche to fill."

"I think they can be hired for money, I'm not sure yet who will be funding this operation though."

"Maybe it's possible to raise it via donations, or maybe local governments can be persuaded... or existing aid organizations."

"All possibilities, yeah."

"I wonder if there's anything similar that's been done previously to compare against."
