SPIN is pleased to share our recording of this lunchtime talk by SPIN-ster Dr. Brett Edwards. Stream the talk above or on our SPIN YouTube channel.
During the session, Brett talks through his research on poisons and pestilence as weapons, as well as his experiences recording a podcast – a burgeoning practice in research communication. After working on biological and chemical weapon-related issues for several years, Brett decided to develop a deeper appreciation of the history of this area. This has turned into a podcast called ‘Poisons and Pestilence’ which Brett records in his shed. The series traces the history of these weapons from pre-history all the way up to the present day.
