On this day: Professor Selman Waksman (RC1915, ‘16) made history with his Nobel Prize-winning discovery of streptomycin—the first antibiotic to fight tuberculosis 🩺🔬

In 1900, TB was the deadliest disease in the U.S., claiming 147,000 lives yearly. Thanks to Waksman’s breakthrough, TB deaths dropped by over 90% by the 1960s.
