Brandy Schillace
We might be afraid of lions, tigers, and bears (oh, my!), but much more frequently, our worst foes come without teeth and claws and in teeny, tiny packages.
In These Six Things Will Kill You, medical historian Brandy Schillace introduces you to half a dozen deadly forces, often microscopic and invisible, that might be coming for you at this very moment.
Dr. Schillace will introduce you to bacteria and fungi; cancer, Lyme, and heart disease; and some of the ways the very environment around us is out to get us. She will also arm you with the knowledge of how to avoid these fatal elements when possible, and what modern science is doing to help us protect ourselves against them. Dr. Schillace will also introduce you to the growing field of personalized medicine and how your unique genome might dictate which of these diseases you should be giving particular attention.
Whether you are young or old, healthy or frail, this course offers pragmatic guidance on how to avoid disease and reduce your risk for early death.

And then there are small but frequent errors: Watson and Crick did not discover the chemical structure of DNA; they discovered its physical structure. She calls pericarditis an inflammation of the heart's lining; it is actually an inflammation of the sac that surrounds the heart.
There are others. These are admittedly small errors, but frequent enough to disturb my listening and should not be made by a professional writer of the history of science.
I'm returning this one.
