A reminder from Jacques Dubochet: humanity has the capability to love each other, despite our differences.
Dubochet was awarded the 2017 chemistry prize for the development of cryo-electron microscopy.

On this day in 1974, Mario Molina (left) and Sherwood Rowland (right), published an article demonstrating that CFC gases have a damaging effect on ozone in the atmosphere.
Thanks to their work the gases were banned and the depletion of the ozone layer has slowed.

A total solar eclipse on 29 May 1919 proved a perfect opportunity to test
@AlbertEinstein's theory of general relativity. The observations confirmed the theory's prediction of the bending of light around the Sun.

"Here I must make a confession... I do not like either mathematics or statistics. I began my career as a protozoologist. I like to see things, not calculate probabilities."
- André Lwoff awarded the 1965 medicine prize
Anaemia means that the amount of red blood cells in the blood is too low. After George Whipple showed that the formation of blood cells among dogs was stimulated by a diet rich in liver, George Minot and William Murphy adapted this finding for people who had pernicious anaemia.
Cosmic microwave background – radiation left over from the Big Bang – was discovered by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson who initially thought it was just background interference in their measurements.

The polio vaccine developed by Jonas Salk was declared safe and effective on this day 71 years ago. He used a technique by Nobel Prize laureates John Enders, Thomas Weller and Frederick Robbins to help develop his vaccine.
144 years later: Microscopy still fights tuberculosis 🔬
In 1882, Dr. Robert Koch discovered the bacteria causing TB using #microscopes supplied by Carl Zeiss Jena.
Microscopy bridges history & innovation. Raise awareness this #WorldTuberculosisDay!
