Description

The second episode in our pandemic series is about one of the OGs, plague! This sucker has killed hundreds of millions of people in the past couple millennia, but has been brought low by antibiotics (yay SCIENCE!). But is it gone forever? Nah. Also, bubonic plague as a bioweapon?! It isn't a new idea...

Titles in the series (100)

Profane, insane, and 100% primo science, Petri Dish is a no-BS podcast that explores the wildest subjects in modern science with clarity and evil joy. Hosted by Sean Allen, a Nanoparticle/Immunology Researcher, and Nathan Allen, his "screenwriter" brother, Petri Dish fuses hard science with a freewheeling and madcap conversational style. Cannabinoids, Plague, Cats, the dreaded Candiru, and the even more dreaded Covid-19: all these and more are dissected with intellect and irreverence, dropping every week. So reject ignorance. Join the Scientific Revolution. Join Petri Dish.
