Assignment 1: 

You can submit a .doc, docx, .pdf, or text file for this submission. 

Research and report on one person (not a white, male) who made a significant contribution to the field of microbiology, and provide the following information.

Name of historic figure:_________________________________________

Years birth to death:______________________________________________

Area of Contribution: _____________________________________________

Write two well-organize paragraphs describing his/her major microbiological contribution and the significance of that work to humans in terms of either health or technology. You may NOT copy/paste any direct excerpts from the text or elsewhere. YOU MUST put the information in your own words AND provide a reference (complete with author, title of resource, year, pages) for the information. If you use a website, DO NOT just copy the link. Include the title of the web page AND the source such as Centers of Disease control or National Institutes of Health, or Joe’s homepage (although I don’t recommend using personal websites and you will probably lose points if you do).
