Mrs. TNTBS interviews author of "Patient Zero", Dr. Lydia Kang
Patient Zero with Dr. Lydia Kang
As long as there have been humans, there has been disease. Before COVID-19, there was plague, yellow fever, mad cow disease, and countless other sinister maladies. But alongside illness has also come innovation and ingenuity, spurred by a drive to understand and to cure.
From the authors of Quackery: A Brief History of the Worst Ways to Cure Everything, an NPR “Best Science Book Of 2017,” comes PATIENT ZERO: A Curious History of the World's Worst Diseases.
It’s a fascinating history of disease outbreaks—how they start, how they spread, and the science that ultimately allows us to overcome them.
