Coming up in August, we're following the hidden infectious disease stories that unfold over the course of a single summer day.

From the first swim of the morning to a picnic in the afternoon and the long hours of dusk, we'll explore the invisible microbes, vectors, and environmental hazards woven into some of summer's most familiar traditions.

Then, as the porch lights come on, we'll close the month with an Outbreak After Dark visit to a Regency-era garden party, where beneath the elegance of the Bridgerton world, infectious diseases quietly shaped fashion, etiquette, beauty, and everyday life.
