#25: Shaping Public Health & Epidemiology: The Story of John Snow and the Broad Street Pump
A Storytime:
The story of Cholera in London in the 1800s and how John Snow’s famous experiments revolutionised epidemiology and public health as we know it in modern, western history has always been a favourite for me.
I was reminded of this story strolling through Soho past the John Snow pub recently and past the famous Broad Street pump. This podcast episode is a public health bedtime story; one of science and pioneering innovation. It’s a story we know, but one that ignited something in me, and I like to listen to things.
I hope you enjoy the story. :)
