I'm actually doing a master's program for epidemiology right now, and I wish that crash course Public Health was around when I was doing undergrad. This is such a great resource. I'm so happy to see crash course expanding
I just finished reading The Ghost Map, a book tracing the birth of epidemiology, when the 1854 Cholera outbreak hit London Soho, and how a physician named John Snow (this Snow knows something) found out the real culprit of cholera. It was a required reading from one of my public health class, honestly it was more interesting than I expected. The Ghost Map was written in a "murder mystery" method, and the fact that we already know what's killing people-Vibrio cholerae-doesn't undermine the book's thrills in extracting clues, challenging counterpoints, and convincing people. The book also demonstrates scientific methods challenge outdated myths, detailing how Dr. John Snow challenged the widespread superstition of the cause of diseases, the miasma theory. The "ghost map" John created was a visual tool that dots every case of cholera along the location of the case. This tool helped 19th century found the real suscept of the cholera pandemic by looking at where cases were most concentrated. It was the first time public health authorities in Europe used this kind of visual tool. The many COVID-19 infographic we've seen over the past 2 years are probably the epidemiological lineages of John Snow's ghost map.
To follow up on the Doll-Hill experiment, according to Dr. Siddhartha Mukherjee in "Emperor of All Maladies", the reason the researchers were able to contact 60,000 British doctors was due to the British government's recent nationalisation of the health care system. They were effectively allowed to pull a centralized mailing list of nearly all the doctors, which in turn gave them a ton of data to utilize. It's another indirect benefit of socialized healthcare.

Where my epi peeps at? Currently getting my masters in epi :) highly recommend this field if you love investigating!
Human health and detective work. Honestly seems like an interesting field
As a nerdfighter for over 10 years, and as an epidemiologist, this makes my heart happy. Love the work you guys do!
The way she explain is amazing and thanks CrashCourse team organized such amazing courses

This channel deserves way more views. Keep up the great videos.🙏
Hey, how did I miss this new CC series until ep 6? Welcome to CC Vanessa! (Clicked, went "wait, this isn't BrainCraft!")
I took a basic epidemiology course as an elective for nursing school. It should be a requirement!
This video would've been so helpful before covid.
What a good presenter, good video backed up with demonstrations, kudos!
Excellent introduction.
Most people use bits and pieces of these elements, explanations, but cannot weigh relationships.
Fantastic video!
Can you guys PLEASE do a crash course art history? I love your videos and I think you would do a great job with it!
Do more videos on empires and kingdoms really enjoyed when you used to do them
You didn't mention the pump handle.
That cactus is getting plenty of light.
Can yall do the olmec and maya
So how did the Ebola outbreak happen?
My love of cheese will not be the death of me, I don't sleep with bedsheets. :P
There is a 'Spank the Hank' sighting in this video~
Nice
that buzzing sound is really distracting, is that on purpose ?
👍👏👍👏👍
Isn’t that an episode of community
Did you quit braincraft?
Can you do a video about who created modern warfare? I’m not talking about the game. I need it for an upcoming exam.
cool shirt

I'll be very disappointed if this series doesn't include a cameo from a certain friendly dog.

No, I hope she suffers in the spirals of hell
I'm early but doesn't know what to comment. Maybe I'll not comment anyways.
RIP Queen Elizabeth
