Beautiful resource, registration takes literally only two minutes. Thanks for this!
Thanks to all who're getting the word out about this new narrative of the 2nd Plague Pandemic! It presents the "new paradigm" for framing the late medieval pandemic, re-reading 700-year-old narratives & now adding in new data from Biology & Archaeology. A new history for our new age of pandemics. 🧪🗃️
