Five startling discoveries about how bacteria grow were recently made -- about 100 yr after they should have been made.

Produktbeschreibung
Five startling discoveries about how bacteria grow were recently made -- about 100 yr after they should have been made. Scientists back then misled themselves by not vetting out a new method for growing bacteria developed by a New Jersey woman while working in the Berlin lab of a soon-to-be Nobel Laureate. Oddly, he never used it. But everyone else did, and a faulty paradigm emerged from its use and is still in vogue today. The missed discoveries and faulty paradigm had little impact on the achievements of Science during the 20th Century but not so regarding those required in the 21st. The imbedded paradigm must be corrected if we are to effectively combat epidemics and bioterrorism. This is a true story told first hand of the discoveries and frustrations to correct this faulty paradigm.

Autorenporträt
I'm a father of two and live in Edmonton, Alberta with my wife, thirteen-year-old daughter, her pet rescue turtle, and aquariums. I write on my laptop while sitting in a reclining chair, drinking my decaffeinated or herbal tea, and listening to the chatter of red squirrels and the chirping of wild birds. Science fiction can be my way of expressing optimism about the future and how we can make things better. More often, it's me standing on a roof shouting, FOR GOD'S SAKE, DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN!
