For #InternationalMensDay, let's look at three men who tested their own theories on themselves.
🧪 Marshall: drank Helicobacter pylori.
🦠 Hunter: self-inoculated.
🦟 Lazear: took yellow-fever mosquito bites.
Dangerous experiments, major impact.

🌊 🛢️When an oil spill hits the ocean, Alcanivorax borkumensis gets to work.
This marine #bacterium naturally lives in seawater, but when oil is present, it multiplies fast and starts breaking it down.
In other words: it eats oil. 👉 https://t.co/CPVCmdj86b
