JU researcher: Visegrad Four’s silence about Russian aggression may bode ill for the Group's future

JU researcher: Visegrad Four’s silence about Russian aggression may bode ill for the Group's future

Black Death was less devastating than previously thought

Black Death was less devastating than previously thought

11.02.2022
Data collected by researchers from pollen in 19 European countries in order to estimate the regional death rate following the outbreak of the Black Death indicates that although the disease ravaged the population of many parts of the continent, there were also areas where its impact was minimal or even non-existent. The study is a perfect illustration of the importance of adopting an interdisciplinary approach in research to understand past and future pandemics.
