I don’t really listen to podcasts much as I don’t have the time or bandwidth to discover them. However, the instruction to select something I am passionate about steered me in the direction of the impacts of disease is history; this topic is related to my all-consuming obsession, I mean, dissertation. Infected by Fate examines the ways in which the outcomes of historical events have been affected by the presence of disease.
The bell tolling is a reminder that throughout history, prior to the 20th century, infectious disease was a leading cause of mortality. The music is a funeral dirge. Together these evoke a sense of mourning and somber reflection. The mosquito is a shoutout to my monograph about yellow fever, although Cornwallis was motivated to surrender in part because his troops were afflicted with malaria, so it works for the photo as well. As a general comment, I was disappointed with how inferior the quality became in order to reduce the clip to a size that Word Press would accept. I think that it worth mentioning as a caution to consider in any projects going forward.
