On today's show, we embark on the first of what I hope will be many virtual excursions together. This time we visit Berlin, Germany. This beautiful city is famous for its political and cultural past, but also has a fascinating history in science and medicine.
There is so much to examine, but this episode will focus on Charità -- an institution founded as a plague hospital that ended up treating soldiers, training medical students, hosting some of the founding work in modern pathology, and most recently housing a history of medicine museum -- and the Berlin Phonogram Archive, a founding institution for ethnomusicology and a key voice in early twentieth century evolutionary arguments about race.
