John Snow and Why Public Health History Matters

In this episode of Transmissible, we revisit the lifeand work of Dr. John Snow, often called the father of modern epidemiology, to explore why public health history still matters. Long before germ theory was widely accepted, Snow used careful observation, data mapping, and skepticism ofconventional wisdom to trace a deadly cholera outbreak in 19th-century London to a single contaminated water pump. But this episode goes beyond the famous Broad Street map. We examine what Snow’s approach teaches us about evidence-based decision making and the social and political forces that shape public health responses. From resistance to new ideas to the consequences of acting too late, Snow’s story offers manyyy parallels to modern outbreaks, misinformation, and policy debates. So grab a coffee and come hangout!
