(Part 2 of 2) Kirsten Ostherr, Professor of English at Rice University, speaks with us about her research on medical imaging and public imaginations of disease. We think about what it means to “visualize a virus” in addition to discussing data privacy and risk in the landscape of digital healthcare. Maile uses “spreading like wildfire” as a poorly timed metaphor for the actual wildfires which would soon spread across the West Coast.
