Dorking Out with Public Health History
While I was in London (at the suggestion of one of my tour-mates), I totally checked out the Broad Street water pump. This pump was made famous by John Snow, an innovative dude who is one of the godfathers of public health as we know it today. If John Snow is a godfather, then the Broad Street water pump is like an epicenter of the genesis of modern public health interventions.
As it turned out, the water pump was only a few blocks from the Soho hostel where I stayed on my last night in London.
Needless to say, I was majorly psyched to be in the midst of public health history.
This is the John Snow pub, where the original water pump was located:
I actually did cool things too while I was in Europe. I'll try to post about less dorky things when I have the chance.
