Many scientists have died young to allow others to reap the benefits of their discoveries . Where would we be without them ?

In 2019, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine added Alice Ball's name to the frieze atop its main building, along with Florence Nightingale and Marie Curie, in recognition of their contributions to science and global health research.

glad they acknowledged she for her hard work instead of Hanson and also that she was an African American. Sorry she died so young...she may have discovered the cure for cancer..

mezo, Alice Ball died before she could publish her work then two men did steal her work and didn’t give her any credit for her contributions, specifically Arthur Dean, who was president of the College of Hawaii, and Richard Wrenshall, a chemistry professor. They passed her work as their own.
