My brilliant sister Richelle @rmkhoff discussing her incredible research on the Searchers of the Dead ☠️ @srchrs --Plague times in London and how women are at the center of early Public Health and yet invisible. @thatssciencepod

In this episode of 'Is That Science', Susan talks with Richelle Munkhoff, co-founder of @plain_sight_archive a non-profit organization developing an online tool and resources dedicated to a more inclusive understanding of the history of arts and culture. In this interview, Richelle discusses one area of her research conducted during her academic career, a specific role for women in the early modern period.
Women have always participated in science and held important roles in medicine. However, the inherently male-dominated tradition of these practices has a tendency to both forget and erase the pivotal part they have played in scientific development. Richelle’s work is so important because it reminds us of both the forgotten legacy of women in the foundations of science and their importance as leaders within the community. Of course, this interview will be slightly on the more history and humanities side, but I couldn't resist discussing this fascinating piece of work! We talked about the purpose of this role, how it evolved, how Richelle conducted her research and what we can learn from the Searchers.
