An accordion. A wooden hairbrush with many of its bristles still intact. A stick of sealing wax bearing the thumbprint of the last person who used it. A pair of Royal Navy epaulettes, carefully stored in a box. Preserved for over 170 years by the frigid waters of the Arctic Ocean, these and hundreds of other artifacts retrieved from the wreck of HMS Erebus and revealed to the public for the first time last week paint an intriguing picture of life aboard the doomed ship — and may ultimately hold clues to the fate of Sir John Franklin’s lost expedition.

The World Health Organization says it’s still too early to call the COVID-19 coronavirus a pandemic — but the potential for it to become so is not far away. A pandemic means the worldwide spread of a new disease. For example, an influenza (flu) pandemic occurs when a new influenza virus emerges and spreads around the world, and most people do not have immunity. Worried about COVID-19? Check out some of the pandemic resources we created as part of our 2018 project Unmasking Influenza, which commemorated the centenary of the 1918-19 Spanish Flu pandemic.
