Field work vs Lab work in Biology: COVID vaccines, John Snow, and TurtleSpot

When people think of biology or science in general, the first thing that comes to mind is lab work: researching microorganisms, chemistry, lab procedures... and all the jazz. What they may not know is the significance of field work in science.

In this episode, we take a look at John Snow's tracing of the cholera outbreak and China's vaccine controversy in Bahrain to see just how important field work really is. Then, armed with my experience in both the field and the lab, I break down the strengths and weaknesses of each. Strap on, my friends!
