Alice Catherine Evans (January 29, 1881 September 5.

1975) was an
Americanmicrobiologist. She was born on a farm in Neath, Bradford County,
Pennsylvania to William Howell and Anne B. Evans. In 1886 Evans
survived Scarlet Fever, as did her brother Morgan. She attended the Susquehanna
Collegiate Institute for a year, then became a teacher. After earning a B.S. in
bacteriology from Cornell University in 1909 and an M.S. from University of
WisconsinMadison the following year, she became a researcher at the US
Department of Agriculture. There she investigated bacteriology in milk and cheese.
Evans joined the United States Public Health Service in 1918, researching
epidemicmeningitis and influenza at the department's Hygienic Laboratories. That
same year she demonstrated that bacillus abortus caused the
disease Brucellosis (undulant fever or Malta fever) in both cattle and humans. (In
1925 she also contracted this disease[1] and suffered from the symptoms for seven
years.) Initially her results were not taken seriously (due to her gender and lack of
a Ph.D.), but they were later confirmed by other scientists. This led to
the pasteurization of milk in 1930, a process she had championed. As a result, the
national incidence of Brucellosis was significantly reduced. Evans died September
5, 1975 in Washington D.C.
Evans donated a collection of her papers to the National Library of Medicine in
1969

Not many knows about him but he has brought cartoon to the next
level, which is the one and only Datuk Mohammad Nor Khalid , more
commonly known as Lat . Winner of the Fukoku Asian Culture Prize in
2002, he has published more than 20 volumes of cartoons since he was
13 years old. His works mostly illustrate Malaysias social and political
scenes, delivering them in a comedic light without bias .The best cartoon
that he has created is Kampung Boy (1979). Due to attaining bad grades,
Lat could not continue his studies beyond high school and became a

encorage younger generation to read and also make it more interesting .
Besides from writing and publishing cartoons, Lat also attempt on animation and others.
In fact , foreign government invites Lat to all over the world to share his creation to the

Next , no one would expect him to be an unsung hero , he is a
photographer which has witnessed He has witness and recorded
Malaysian History through his camera from 1950 until 1980 . He is
a humble guy which not many people aware of his good deeds, even
in Wikipedia it doesnt appear about his biodata . He is Wong Swee
Lin .Wong had accompanied the premiers of Malaysia throughout
many year Tunku Abdul Rahman, Tun Abdul Razak and Tun
Hussein Onn .I believe without the presents of Wong Swee Lin , today we wont have
pictures and videos of what happened in the history of Malaysia . His photographs had been
and will be published more than a thousand times. Every time we celebrate the Independence
Day, the media will publish all these pictures again and again. Thanks to Wong , today we
have pictures and evidence in our Malaysian text books and also museum .
