Welcome to 1850s London. Queen Victoria is on the British throne, the Industrial Revolution is at its peak, and a deadly disease outbreak is sweeping through the streets of Soho, London.
In this extra-special mystery session, we’ll be joined by Dr Cristina Bocanegra from PROSICS (https://barcelonaprosics.wordpress.com), expert in International & Humanitarian Medicine and Infectious Diseases.
We will be investigating this mysterious outbreak, exploring some of the key themes and techniques in epidemiology (the study of incidence, distribution and possible control of diseases and public health), and thinking about how ideas first developed in the 1850s are still used today in understanding modern-day epidemics, such as Ebola, Zika Virus and Influenza.
In this fascinating hands-on social workshop, we’ll be using all our skills and creativity to work together to solve the puzzle.
Remember to RSVP so we can ensure you're on the list, and feel free to bring along your friends. We'll all go out together for drinks after the event as well.
Although the content of our events is in English, our attendees are usually from different countries, so our group activities tend to be in English and Spanish.
