Back from an amazing 2-week fieldwork in Triunfo, a historical focus of plague in the Brazilian backlands. The absence of written records led to some Indiana Jones-style search for the old plague mausoleums in the middle of the banana fields. Havaianas were probably not the best choice tho.

Couldn't have expected a better kick off for my project, "How did infectious diseases become wild?", than to give a keynote at the Annual Meeting of the Brazilian Society of Tropical Medicine in sunny João Pessoa

I'm looking forward to discussing this incredible book on the history of microbiology in Ecuador tomorrow at 4 pm-London time/10 am-Quito time.

Looking forward to this online talk on 29 April, where I will share previous findings and ideas for my next project. And thanks to the Italian Society for the History of Science for including a Gambá in the poster!

Just started my residency at the Brocher Foundation, where I will try to finish my first monograph while enjoying the beautiful view of the lake and the Jura.

I'm very looking forward to presenting my research tomorrow at CLAS/Cambridge!

Very happy to open CLAS-Cambridge seminars Lent Term 2025 with a conference on my ongoing book project. All welcome! www.latin-american.cam.ac.uk/clas-open-se...
