In the Footsteps of a Pioneer: Walter Reed's Yellow Fever Quest In-Person

Calling all history buffs and curious minds alike! Brace yourselves for the thrilling tale of how a daring team of medical mavericks cracked the age-old enigma of yellow fever transmission. It was a topic that had been intensely discussed since it first struck the shores of the Americas during the 1600s. At the very end of the nineteenth century, it was shown by the American army physician and researcher Major Walter Reed and his small team of fellow medical scientists that the riddle had been solved. Join us as Dr. Robert Miciotto, our Medical Historian in Residence, unveils this captivating chapter in medical history!
