RATING
This podcast episode is probably my favorite of the series so far. I knew we eradicated Rinderpest but I had no idea why. I guess I thought it was because we could, it was just something we could wipe out relatively easy through herd management. I had no idea how devastating it was. I had no idea that one infected animal could decimate a farm. Erin and Erin do an amazing job at painting a picture and explaining the disease, the effects, and how science prevailed.
