World Tofu Day

 

                                                                       History Of Tofu 

 

 

Tofu is one of the world's oldest plant-based foods, with a history spanning more than 2,000 years. It originated in ancient China and gradually spread throughout East and Southeast Asia before becoming a staple ingredient worldwide.

The earliest records suggest that tofu was invented during the Chinese Han dynasty (206 BCE–220 CE). It is traditionally attributed to Liu An, a nobleman and scholar who lived around 179–122 BCE. According to legend, Liu An accidentally discovered tofu while experimenting with soybeans and mineral salts.

Vaccine For Hemophilus Influenze Type B Meningitis 

 

1996 Lasker Award  

 

Porter W. Anderson Jr. and David Hamilton Smith were two of the four scientists principally responsible for developing the Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccine. Their work transformed Hib from a leading cause of childhood meningitis into a largely vaccine-preventable disease

Their research began in the late 1960s at Boston Children's Hospital, where they investigated why Hib caused severe infections in infants and young children. Anderson, a microbiologist, and Smith, a pediatric infectious disease specialist, identified the bacterium's capsular polysaccharide—polyribosylribitol phosphate (PRP)—as the critical antigen capable of inducing protective immunity.
