A Quiet Approach to Bringing Down Malaria

I clicked through to a linked article on drug combinations being used to combat chloroquine-resistant malaria [1]. Nothing seemed amiss until I reached the bottom and saw a missing image for a "Map showing the distribution of drug-resistant malaria in 1987".

I checked the byline, and low-and-behold, that article was published in 1987!

Amazing, though not surprising, that the digitised legacy of the paper is being put to good use by the writers and editors of today.

Pretty good as a short biopic. I'd be interested to know more about the folks he works with and how he actually runs his organization aside from just that he goes through a lot of shoe-rubber.

What a wonderful story. I was struck by the anecdote about the the medal given to the village chief.
