Description

How does human behavior contribute to disease transmission? What can our history with infectious disease teach us about modern epidemics?

On this episode, we talk with Sabrina Sholts, Curator of Biological Anthropology in the Department of Anthropology at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History (NMNH). Sabrina’s research explores the intersection of human, animal, and environmental health. She was the lead curator for the exhibit “Outbreak: Epidemics in a Connected World”, which inspired her new book, The Human Disease: How We Create Pandemics, from Our Bodies to Our Beliefs. In our conversation with Sabrina, we discuss what it was like to curate the Outbreak exhibit, how human social behavior can underpin pandemics, and the historical context of infectious disease.
