I'm a journalist, author and medical historian. Specializing in the science and history of infectious disease, my work appears in the Guardian, the Observer and the Lancet. My latest book, Living With Enza: The Forgotten Story of Britain and the Great Flu Pandemic of 1918 is part of an on-going study of the social, cultural and emotional impacts of pandemics. I currently divide my time between London and Zurich, where I teach at the Institute of the History of Medicine at Zurich University.
