Join us in our conversation with science journalist and Johns Hopkins History of Medicine PhD student Jessica Leigh Hester about her recent book Sewer (Bloomsbury, 2022). We discuss the medical, social, and structural intricacies of sewers – and sewer stewardship – as well as Jessica’s PhD research on graverobbing and the display of human  remains.
