Scientists have been studying airborne diseases for centuries but their warnings were often overlooked. Carl Zimmer is an award-winning New York TImes columnist and the author of 15 books about science. He helps us unpack the history of airborne diseases, how public health can cling to outdated beliefs and how history predicted our response to COVID-19. Carl reveals the hidden story of airborne transmission and what it means for the air we share today.
