Rijul Kochhar (MIT) published a new article on the pre-d’Hérelle history of phages, and the many meanings of phages today in the space of this ‘pre-discovery’. It’s a story of science, religion and late 19th century colonial healthcare with 21st century consequences. This work is the result of Rijul's direct fieldwork, done through MIT's Doctoral Program in History, Anthropology, Science, Technology, and Society.
