À 23 ans, elle guérit la lèpre. À 24 ans, elle disparaît. Et pendant 90 ans, un homme blanc s'attribua le mérite de ses travaux. Voici l'histoire d'Alice Augusta Ball, le génie qu'on a tenté d'effacer. Elle grandit à Seattle au début du XXe siècle, dans une famille qui croyait au potentiel des Noirs. Son grand-père fut l'un des premiers photographes noirs d'Amérique. Sa mère lavait les sols pour pouvoir offrir un microscope à Alice. Ce cadeau changea le monde. Alice dévorait la chimie comme l'oxygène. Elle obtint deux licences. Elle publia des recherches alors qu'elle était encore étudiante. Puis elle s'installa à Hawaï et devint : 📷 La première femme à obtenir une maîtrise en chimie à l'Université d'Hawaï 📷 La première femme noire à obtenir ce diplôme 📷 La première femme professeure de chimie de l'histoire de l'université Elle avait 23 ans. Mais pendant qu'elle enseignait, elle fut confrontée à une urgence bien plus grande que le monde universitaire : La maladie de Hansen, la lèpre. Un diagnostic signifiait l'exil. Arraché à sa famille, on était déporté sur une île pour y mourir seul. Il existait un traitement : une huile amère et collante, peu efficace et extrêmement douloureuse. Nombreux furent ceux qui le refusèrent. Nombreux furent ceux qui moururent. Alice refusa de baisser les bras. Dans son laboratoire, elle trouva la solution que personne d'autre n'avait trouvée : Elle transforma cette huile épaisse en une forme assimilable par le corps. Une injection révolutionnaire qui sauva enfin des vies. Les patients commencèrent à guérir. Des familles furent réunies. Des personnes condamnées guérirent subitement. Sa découverte devint la méthode Ball. Elle changea l'histoire de la médecine avant même que la plupart des gens n'aient terminé leurs études. Et puis… elle disparut. À seulement 24 ans, un mystérieux accident de laboratoire lui coûta la vie. Elle ne vit jamais le miracle qu'elle avait accompli. Puis vint le vol. Le président de l'université, un chimiste blanc nommé Arthur Dean, s'appropria ses recherches, en retira son nom et les rebaptisa : « La Méthode Dean ». Pendant des décennies… 📷 Son nom figurait dans les manuels scolaires. 📷 Son nom était encensé par les médecins. 📷 Son nom était attribué à la seule reconnaissance de ses mérites. Son nom a failli disparaître complètement de l'histoire. Un vol si discret que la plupart des gens ignoraient même qu'un crime avait été commis. Il fallut 90 ans pour que la vérité éclate enfin. Des chercheurs ont mis au jour les documents originaux d'Alice. Son travail. Son génie. Ses découvertes majeures. Les projecteurs se sont braqués sur elle. Le mensonge s'est effondré. Et aujourd'hui, le monde le sait : C'était la Méthode Ball – TOUJOURS. Alice Ball a guéri une maladie qui avait ravagé des vies pendant des siècles. Elle a libéré des familles. Elle a sauvé des milliers de personnes de l'isolement et de la mort. Et elle a accompli tout cela en une seule année. Imaginez ce qu'elle aurait pu faire en une vie entière. Alice Ball méritait un prix Nobel. Elle méritait des statues. Elle méritait que son nom soit sur toutes les lèvres des étudiants en sciences. Au lieu de cela, elle a été étouffée par le silence… Jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Nous prononçons son nom parce que l'histoire a refusé de le faire. Nous l'honorons parce que d'autres ne l'ont pas fait. Nous nous souvenons d'elle parce qu'elle l'a mérité. Alice Augusta Ball (1892-1916) La chimiste qui a changé le monde avant même d'avoir eu le temps d'y vivre.
1/3 Empire apologists often argue that the British empire was no different from earlier empires. In @scroll_in , I explain what set modern European empire apart from the Mughals, Ottomans, Romans, etc, drawing on brilliant recent work by Nora Barakat, Gili scroll.in/article/105965…
So all in all a good-ish Covid week. However, just a reminder that the number of adults not seeking wor cos of long term sickness is at record levels. Part of this is record waiting list and strained NHS, part other things but part is Long Covid. It's not gone away. 8/8
THREAD: latest numbers on Covid in England. TLDR: Disappointing uptake of Spring Booster but good news is that hospitalisations and deaths are going down and are at lowest we've seen in a while... 1/8
I have sacked Nadhim Zahawi, now that my ethics advisor has informed me that hiding £27m in an offshore account, avoiding £3.7m in tax, lying about it and threatening to sue people is apparently not OK. Who knew?
🚨 | BREAKING: The Government have admitted that they instructed train firms NOT to settle the rail strike dispute because it would be cheaper to keep the strikes going Via @RMTunion
£37bn for a private sector Test and Trace programme that made "no measurable difference" to the pandemic. £12.5bn for private hospitals to "stand by" ... and do nothing. £10bn in overpayments for PPE. And the government tells us there's no more money for the NHS.
Would be nice to think we had a strategy for reducing transmission in 2023. Particular one aimed at mitigating airborne spread of Coronavirus + other viruses! We'll be discussing this in next week's @IndependentSage with @adsquires & Kenneth Wood, led by @trishgreenhalgh 5/5
Note today's statement by the British Society of Immunology on the safety and efficacy of MRNA Vaccines! immunology.org/news/bsi-state…
"We did it. We broke mainstream media🔥🔥🔥" Oh @BBCNews, cc @JamesTGallagher @BBCFergusWalsh - you have been played under the guise of a statins story into broadcasting anti-vaxx nonsense - the same nonsense that just got Andrew Bridgen suspended from @Conservatives
Year-end figures show COVID-19 tied to more deaths in 2022 “That creates the unusual situation where the deadliest year of the pandemic is also the year when most of us decided the pandemic was over.” #COVIDisAirborne #COVID #BringBackMasks #SARSCoV2 cbc.ca/news/canada/ma…
The Swedish 'model'.
Once again - #Sweden has the most #covid deaths. You would think this would be picked up by Swedish media… *crickets* #sverigebilden #herdimmunity
🔴 Independent SAGE releases End of Year 2022 Statement Join our briefing tomorrow at 1:30pm for more on the statement. Can also access it here: independentsage.org/independent-sa…
The long-term consequences of disastrous policies will affect us all. thetimes.co.uk/article/nhs-lo…
Nurses' pay has fallen by 5% since 2010. The pay offer will lead to a predicted further fall of 5%. The PM describes this as "appropriate and fair"!! nuffieldtrust.org.uk/resource/chart…
UK weekly deaths from Covid-19 in 2022. Minimum level about 200. Government and their allies have made this 'acceptable'.
This is getting a lot of traction. But schools weren’t closed for 2 years! Instead, children were in school while COVID rocketed. Is anyone looking at the bigger picture here?
Little children were never at any risk from Covid. But we shut them away, closed their playgrounds and schools. Their immune systems got no practice for 2 years. Now, six are dead from a bug they might once have fought off.
Shoddy, xenophobic, evidence-free journalism as always. Does the Daily Mail not realise that the NHS would not function without migrant staff?? Some 66,000 nurses and midwives in UK are migrants and in places like London over a quarter of NHS staff have non-British nationalities
Tuesday’s Daily MAIL: “Nurses Paying Price Of Migrant Crisis” #TomorrowsPapersToday
How can the NHS possibly be maintained when the government keeps cutting health workers' pay below inflaitpon and below the going rate in the private sector? Or maybe they do not intend to.
