Louis Pasteur: A Cow's Best Friend

Louis Pasture was born on December 27 1822 to the family of a poor tanner in Dole, France. He grew up very poor but gained degrees in Letters and Mathematics and Sciences all before entering the elite college of Ecole Normale Superieure. He became a physics and Chemistry professor before meeting Marie Laurent who he married. Continuing with his studies of chemistry and science he discovered many breakthroughs about health and disease. Louis Pasture reduced puerperal fever and he created the first vaccines for rabies and anthrax. These discoveries were small compared to his germ theory of disease and idea of fermentation which are still studied today. He was an extremely smart and helpful microbiologist and chemist who helped todays knowledge about disease and medicines. Pasture died September 28 1895 of a series of strokes and his body still lies under the Institute Pasture in Paris in a beautiful vault which he well deserved.
