Today marks the death of the Austrian zoologist Konrad Lorenz in 1903. He was the founder of modern ethnology (the study of animal behaviour by means of comparative zoological methods). He was known affectionately by his pupils as the "father of the grey geese" which he studied. His ideas revealed how behavioural patterns may be traced to an evolutionary past, and he was also known for his work on the roots of aggression. He shared the 1973 Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine, for developing a unified, evolutionary theory of animal and human behaviour.
Microbiology discoverers and stalwarts
This document summarizes the contributions of several important figures in the field of microbiology. Some of the key individuals mentioned include Robert Koch, who discovered the tuberculosis bacterium and developed staining techniques; Antony van Leeuwenhoek, who was the first to observe bacteria under a microscope in 1683; and Louis Pasteur, who established that fermentation is caused by microbes and introduced sterilization techniques. The document provides brief biographies of these and other pioneering microbiologists, such as Alexander Fleming, who made seminal discoveries relating to specific bacteria and diseases.

This document traces the history of terms related to pharmacology such as "human pharmacology" and "applied pharmacology". It discusses how these terms are interrelated and develops a model to show their connections. The document analyzes different studies on the relationship between basic and applied science and concludes that there is no dichotomy, as both are important and inform each other. It presents a model of pharmacology with four quadrants interconnected by bridges to represent the interactions between different components of the field.
History of physiology
- Physiology is the scientific study of normal mechanisms and interactions within living systems. The study of human physiology as a medical field dates back to Hippocrates in 420 BC. Key figures who advanced the field include Aristotle, Galen, Fernel, Bernard, and Cannon.
- In the 19th century, knowledge in physiology began accumulating rapidly with cell theory and Bernard's concept of homeostasis. Major 20th century developments included comparative physiology and ecophysiology. Indian scientists like Paintal, Khorana, and Anand made important discoveries in neuroscience, genetics, and neurophysiology.
Penicillin
Penicillin is a group of drugs produced naturally by mold that can stop the growth of certain infections and diseases. In 1928, Alexander Fleming discovered that the blue-green mold Penicillium notatum released a substance that killed bacteria. Researchers later experimented with Fleming's discovery and by 1941 were able to produce enough penicillin to treat patients, which saved lives during World War 2. Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin later determined penicillin's chemical structure, allowing it to be produced synthetically.

Water disasters
Water disasters can cause significant damage and loss of life. They include tsunamis, caused by earthquakes that create huge waves; droughts, which are periods of abnormally dry weather; floods, resulting from excessive rainfall that causes high water; ice storms, where freezing rain coats surfaces with ice; avalanches, sudden flows of snow down slopes; and hailstorms, thunderstorms that produce large balls of ice. These disasters can be detected and measures taken to mitigate damage, such as tsunami warning systems, dams to control flooding, and controlled avalanches. However, when severe they often cause destruction of property, crops, infrastructure and loss of human life.

Ozone faq
The ozone layer protects the Earth from UV radiation by absorbing UV-B rays. It is being depleted by chemicals like CFCs, HCFCs, and other ozone-depleting substances released into the atmosphere by human activities. While volcanoes and oceans release chlorine, the chlorine from natural sources washes out of the atmosphere, unlike the chlorine from industrial chemicals which remains and destroys ozone. International agreements in the late 20th century began regulating and banning ozone-depleting substances to help the ozone layer recover over time.

Hippocrates was an ancient Greek physician who studied people to develop medical ideas and believed illness was caused by imbalances in the body's four humours rather than gods. Galen built on Hippocrates' theories and wrote extensively, though his ideas were disproven over 1000 years later. Vesalius used dissection to prove many of Galen's anatomical theories wrong. Harvey discovered the circulation of blood. Jenner developed the smallpox vaccine. Simpson introduced ether and chloroform for surgery. Pasteur and Koch established germ theory and developed vaccines.

Scientists details
Ronald Ross was a British physician who discovered that malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes. He conducted research on malaria in India between 1882 and 1899, where he discovered the malaria parasite in mosquitoes. In 1902, Ross received the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his work. He advocated for malaria prevention worldwide and established organizations to prevent malaria in various countries and industries. Ross made many contributions to epidemiology and methods for surveying and assessing malaria.
The Discovery of Microorganisms
Robert Hooke first observed microorganisms in 1665 and Antonie van Leeuwenhoek observed and described microorganisms in 1677. The existence of microorganisms was suspected since ancient times. Louis Pasteur and John Tyndall disproved the theory of spontaneous generation in the 1860s through experiments demonstrating that microorganisms come from other microorganisms, not inanimate matter. Robert Koch established the germ theory of disease in the 1870s-1880s by proving specific diseases are caused by specific pathogens through experiments isolating bacteria from infected animals and transmitting disease through inoculation. Alexander Fleming discovered the antibiotic penicillin in 1928 from the Penicillium mold.

Biographies women scientists lives
Biographies of scientists are important for three reasons: (1) They present scientists as humans with personalities and relationships beyond their work, (2) They show how scientific knowledge is created within social and historical contexts, and (3) Highlighting obscure scientists provides insights into why certain scientists are overlooked due to biases. Biographies can vary in their level of detail and purpose, from brief factual summaries to in-depth analyses of a scientist's life and work. Examining biographies of women scientists reveals the gender-based challenges they overcame during their careers.

Dacota_blue: Science breakthrough I
Science has developed greatly from ancient to modern times. In ancient times, myths and superstitions dominated beliefs about the natural world. During the Scientific Revolution from 1500-1700, early scientists like Galileo, Kepler, and Newton established the foundations of modern science through experimentation and mathematical analysis of the natural world. Their work helped shift views away from ancient authorities like Aristotle and towards evidence-based understanding. Today, science continues to advance our knowledge through rigorous testing of hypotheses and theories against facts gathered through observation and experimentation.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
