The study of geography has not been described as such until relatively recently. Despite Ptolemy’s ‘Geographia’ being written millennia ago, it was not translated until the 15th century. The various disciplines considered to comprise what is considered modern geography (cartography, geology, anthropology, etc.) were still not labeled ‘geography’ until colonial times when explorers would set out to study and supposedly ‘discover’ new land. This means that the history of geography under that term is not expansive, and even if stretched...

Abstract Almost two decades ago, a group of scholars led by a British doctor claimed in The Lancet that the MMR vaccine caused autism in 8 children. Although a substantial body of epidemiological evidence on the safety of the MMR vaccine has accumulated since then, measles outbreaks continue to occur in the U.S. and at least some of those outbreaks were attributed by the media to the anti-vax movement spreading misleading information about vaccines.
