Thanks to all who're getting the word out about this new narrative of the 2nd Plague Pandemic! It presents the "new paradigm" for framing the late medieval pandemic, re-reading 700-year-old narratives & now adding in new data from Biology & Archaeology. A new history for our new age of pandemics. 🧪🗃️

New pub: The dentist Jenny Cohen (1905–1976) fled Nazi persecution, was eventually allowed to practice in Sweden and from 1947 became a health policy administrator in East Germany. How did she fashion her own biography and how is she remembered in different contexts?

"It took her nearly two decades to find a permanent academic position. She found occasional work as a visiting professor, filling in for someone on leave for a year or two. She earned grants to fund her research... but she was often living on unemployment benefits"
