TGIF! Weekly Water News Summary 9 - 15 March 2019

600px-Vincenzo_Camuccini_-_La_morte_di_CesareIt is the Ides of March. Julius Caesar met his death in 44 BCE.

On this same day in 1813 Dr. John Snow was born. Who? Read what Michael McGuire says:

Birth of John Snow. Dr. John Snow (March 15, 1813–June 16, 1858) is famous for the Broad Street Pump episode but he accomplished so much more than that. He was first and foremost a physician who trained in England in the early part of the 19th century. He made significant contributions to the development of anesthesia and he is considered by many to be the Father of Modern Epidemiology.

The story of Dr. John Snow and how he discovered the cause of a 180px-john_snow_memorial_and_pub cholera epidemic in the Golden Square neighborhood of London in 1854 has reached almost mythical proportions in public health literature.  Three excellent books describe Snow’s life and the details of the Broad Street Pump incident. (Hempel 2007; Johnson 2006; Vinten-Johansen et al. 2003)

You can read the rest of Mike's article here.
