This is TOMORROW, 13 Jan, 1700 CET (11:00am EST). Join me for a long-overdue synthesis of the contributions of paleogenomics to the major questions in the history of infectious diseases. What has been transformed? Where do we need to recalibrate? #histmed #EpiSky 🧪🦠🗃️

Excited that this volume is out soon!

I contribute a paper on Hayatizade Mustafa Feyzi Efendi's (d. 1692) Quintet (Hamse), examining the production of disease knowledge in early modern Ottoman Istanbul.

Looking forward to the final copy and discussions with colleagues!
