After trying broths, potatoes, and gelatin, F***y was the one that finally came up with the answer to the problem of obtaining pure cultures.

Angelina F***y Hesse suggested to her scientist husband, Walther Hesse, that agar was preferential to gelatin for culturing microorganisms, as it maintains gel properties at warm temperatures.
This led Koch to culture M. tuberculosis using agar, without crediting her

Happy International Women's Day, the forgetting scientist.

TYPES OF BLOOD CELLS



A large phagocytic white blood cell with a simple oval nucleus and clear, grayish cytoplasm; they have the ability to digest large foreign particles in a wound and dead cells in the body
A large phagocytic white blood cell with a simple oval nucleus and clear, grayish cytoplasm; they have the ability to digest large foreign particles in a wound and dead cells in the monocytes
A large phagocytic white blood cell with a simple oval nucleus and clear, grayish cytoplasm; they have the ability to digest large foreign particles in a wound and dead cells in the body


A type of white blood cell (leukocyte) with coarse, bluish-black granules of uniform size within the cytoplasm; they have the ability to secrete anticoagulants and antibodies that have function against hypersensitivity reactions in the bloodstream


A type of white blood cell, a granulocyte that is filled with microscopic granules, little sacs containing enzymes that digest microorganisms; Neutrophils function by attaching to the walls of the blood vessels, blocking the passageway of germs that try to gain access to the blood through a cut or infectious area


A normal type of white blood cell that has coarse granules within its cytoplasm; Eosinophils work by releasing toxins from their granules to kill pathogens


A small colorless disk-shaped cell fragment without a nucleus, found in large numbers in blood and involved in clotting; the main function is to prevent bleeding


A red blood cell that (in humans) is typically a biconcave disc without a nucleus; they function in the transportation of oxygen and carbon dioxide.


A form of small leukocyte (white blood cell) with a single round nucleus, occurring especially in the lymphatic system; lymphocytes make antibodies, which is one of the final steps in disease resistance

The World AIDS is a day for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, to show support for people living with HIV, and to commemorate those who have died from an AIDS-related illness.
In observance of this day, we raise awareness on the fight against HIV/ AIDS and distribute items that help in the fight against HIV.

This day was celebrated under the theme: "𝐄𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐈𝐕 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜: 𝐄𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞'𝐬 𝐕𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞", which is a fight of inclusiveness.

Thanks to our partners for their full support.
