In Sickness
In Sickness
Two friends discuss the great diseases of history, then and now. Together, we’ll lay out the spread of impactful diseases throughout history and the modern day, their social and political determinants, and how their history has affected our modern treatment of each illness. Angeliki is a doctoral candidate at Oxford, studying the history of disease, and Maya is a public health specialist with a particular focus on developing areas. They both love wine, cheese, true, crime, and maintaining a faint grasp on their faith in humanity.
