Conversations in Science: Beak-Masks to Beakers |
|
COVID-19 is not the first pandemic to spread globally and, unfortunately, it won’t be the last. Beginning in the year 1346, the Black Death was one of the deadliest pandemics ever recorded in human history, killing more than fifty million people. But what exactly caused the Black Death and how did it spread so quickly?
Join Dr. Cathy Ullman as we examine the history of the Black Death, its impact on society, and discuss a brief comparison with the current COVID-19 outbreak. Conversations in Science, presented by RP Oak Hill Building Company, offers scientists and researchers an opportunity to informally chat with the community about trending science topics.
