pasteur

For me personally it was a book about William Pasteur and his development of the rabies vaccine.

To be fair, the movies include Pasteur from the 1800s, and Harrison from the 1700s.

Now if Google didn't have a Tesla, Gauss, Pasteur doodle, that would make me angry.

It wasn't until Pasteur that germ theory gained any widespread acceptance so it's pretty irrelevant that other people thought of it first.

We've known since Pasteur about germ theory, and that hand washing saves lives.

If we're going for 100, I'd quickly add: Pasteur -- popularized the germ theory of disease.

I've also talked with people from all over the world, who have worked everywhere, from Harvard to the Pasteur Institute to Cambridge University.

I think if somebody invents it, he or she would be a benefactor of humanity on the level of Fleming, Pasteur and Borlaug.

It was taken seriously when Pasteur provided the theory, however, the failure to recognise the idea advanced evidence-based medicine - which is where we are today.

And while I'm definitely not the second Fleming or Pasteur and I don't expect myself to stumble upon a way to get us to post-scarcity utopia, I do want to work towards humans getting there.

My dad bought this book at a Goodwill when I was a kid, and I still remember how some of my friends thought the title was cheesy (you know, at that age when we're already trying to be adults and macho), yet my dad explained to me how it was actually very important, and how great and important Pasteur and the great lineage of scientists were.

The Germ theory: >"Louis Pasteur's theory of germs is ridiculous fiction." -- Pierre Pachet, Professor of Physiology at Toulouse, 1872.

Pasteur said "Chance favors the prepared mind" - he was relating it to the field of observation but it obviously applies almost anywhere.

Another quote: "In the fields of observation chance favors only the prepared mind." ―Louis Pasteur We cannot ignore the influence of prior knowledge on observation and reasoning.

And Pasteur's classic, "Chance favors the prepared mind."

I can't imagine almost a quarter of people who're able to feed and clothe themselves not having heard of Einstein or Pasteur.

Take for instance, Louis Pasteur, who invented pasteurization.

From Pasteur: Fortune favors the prepared mind.
