He showed ambition, courage, and most importantly dedication to his craft which is more than most scientists of his era can say.

The groundwork that he laid will allow the scientists of today to improve our quality of life even more and extend our life expectancy a little long. Somewhere out there is another Louis Pasteur waiting to revolutionize the world with their own original thoughts and Ideas. This is an era I look forward too and expect great thing for me and for future generations to witness and
