This lecture covers the story of Dr. John Snow's groundbreaking work on the 1854 cholera outbreak in London, where he used data visualization to challenge the prevailing miasma theory and laid the foundation for modern epidemiology. The lecture delves into Snow's data journalism, spatial data manipulation, and the significance of his map in understanding disease spread.
