Alice Augusta Ball found the cure for leprosy at 23.
She died in a mysterious lab accident at 24.
Arthur Dean stole her research, stole it and renamed it from "The Ball Method" to "The Dean Method."
It took 90 years before her original research papers were found and she got the credit due to her.

"Sex slave' woman wanted for burglary A WOMAN who had five pitbull puppies cloned in South Korea is wanted in Tennessee on burglary charges, lawyers there said today. Joyce MeKinney, 58, was accused of telling a 15-year-old boy to burgle a house to raise cash to buy a false leg for a horse. She fled Britain in 1977 to avoid a trial for allegedly abducting a Mermon missionary and making him her sex slave.
Every sentence brings something new to the madness. Stick it on CEEFAX.
I saw a shop (posh painted old wooden bollocks sort of thing) in Malton the other day called "Hobson's Choice" and thought Hmmm... So if I go in, I'll have no choice but to buy something? Kinda works I suppose, but I felt like I'd be taken hostage by angry daughters.
For me, it's Titanic.
When it came out (I didn't know I was autistic then,) my literal brain couldn't understand why anyone would want to see a film when everyone knows what happens.
I feel like Goodwin is getting a lesson in the fact that, even in hard right politics, you can be either pleasant to work with or good at the job but you do actually need to be one of them. His cardinal error was to be a prickly, thin-skinned arsehole and then lose. No one to blame but himself.
We cannot allow this behavior to be considered normal, not even under Donald Trump.

Nice here, lot of bloody pheasants though.
What's the most unusual place you've listened to #TheArchers?

Asking as I'm at a romantic getaway in a hot tub and wondering if it'll kill the moment if I asleep him if he wants to listen😂
Every time you use A.I. you're emptying a bottle of water onto the ground.
PSA if you finish your Google search with "-ai" it doesn't generate the A.I. summary.
I wish I could send you some words of reassurance, Lou, you're a good egg.
Blossom against an unusually blue English sky
Wood anenome, often found on ancient, untouched land or peeping out of the undergrowth in forests
Hawthorn blossom, respected by Irish farmers who never cut it down, for fear of offending the fae. English folklore also warns against bringing it into the house.
Borrowed a dog. Went for a walk. Looked for #signsofspring

Hope it's the same writer as last week #TheArchers
Must be Spring because it's nearly time for #TheArchers and it's not dark yet!
No, or should I say, not yet. Bloody death wish! Sitting there, literally WAITING to run out in front of you. Wankers.
Honestly, I'm all for being kind, but KILL THEM ALL.
Cast ne'er a clout 'till May is out.
youtu.be/goeCQ8ZM2f4?... one of my favourite things
I've said it before and I'll say it again;
Pheasants are absolute asshats.
I'm so not surprised
That's great, but I still want to be able to do my nails like the secretary in Total Recall.
