377 The Deadliest Pandemic

EPISODE #377 THE DEADLIEST PANDEMIC

Richard welcomes an award-winning author to discuss the grim story of the 1918 Flu Pandemic that killed between 50 and 100 million people.

GUEST: John Barry is a New York Times best-selling author whose books have won multiple awards. The National Academies of Sciences named his 2004 book The Great Influenza the year’s outstanding book on science or medicine. 

His books have also been embraced by experts in applicable fields: in 2006 he became the only non-scientist ever to give the National Academies Abel Wolman Distinguished Lecture, a lecture which honors contributions to water-related science, and he was the only non-scientist on a federal government Infectious Disease Board of Experts. He has served on numerous boards, including ones at M.I.T's Centre for Engineering Systems Fundamentals, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and the Society of American Historians.
