In the lecture given by Elisabeth Root, I learned more about the father of geology and epidemiology, John Snow. Additionally, I learned more about how the development of this field helped the study of how diseases spread. The work of John Snow allowed the spread of cholera to be mapped. This eventually led to the development of Germ theory which has become the cornerstone of medicine today.
I am curious as to which parts of the talk were most meaningful to you, Erin. For example, are there parts of the lessons from Snow that you can apply to your own future career?
